What's Happening in Construction

Con Tech I and Con Tech II students attended Construction Career Days in New Boston on Thursday, September 18. More than 60 exhibitors took part with many hands on activities and demonstrations. The students spent the morning learning about the different construction related fields available as potential careers.

Currently, Con Tech I students are learning about safety in the lab and working with power tools like circular saws, table saws and drills. Students are demonstrating their skill as they construct sawhorses they may take home. Con Tech II students are using previously learned skills to construct a two story learning lab where they will demonstrate new skills they will acquire this year.The new skills include hanging and taping sheetrock, installing windows, doors and stairs. Students may come in every Thursday from 3pm to 5pm to receive extra help and to make up absences. This Saturday, students may choose to work on the baseball shed at Memorial Field as a way to hone their new skills.
