Sophomores in the Production Academy’s Engineering Pathway & Haskell STEAM students raced handmade cardboard canoes at Levings Lake! They designed, engineered, & built their boats using only cardboard & duct tape, then competed to see which was the fastest & stayed afloat.

RPS 205 students stepped beyond the classroom to explore healthcare careers through hands-on job shadow experiences with local professionals. From nursing to lab sciences, students gained real-world insight & built connections for future careers. rps205.com/article/2866438
