🔧 Industrial Arts Field Trip - Morton Buildings! 🔨
Yesterday our Industrial Arts students had the opportunity to visit Morton Buildings for an exciting and educational field trip! Students got a behind-the-scenes look at how their buildings are designed and constructed, learning about the materials, planning, craftsmanship, and teamwork that go into every project.
They also explored the wide variety of career opportunities involved in the industry—from construction and design to manufacturing and project management.
To top it all off, students put their skills to the test with a nail-driving contest 🏆🔨 — and there were some impressive swings!

The Elementary School is getting into the March Madness spirit. The classroom attendance contest has started. Let the madness begin! #TheTrojanWay

A simulation of a grain elevator explosion. The fire is created when air is pumped into the 'elevator,' blowing lycopodium powder (like grain dust) into the air. There is a lit candle in the can. Scale this up = big problem.

Random student question: "Mr. Hollis, could you die from eating too many cough drops?"
Using menthol as the active ingredient, we grabbed the Merck Index, looked up menthol, and located the LD50 (rats). Rats are not humans, but it gives us a decent data point to work from. We found it would take 200ish bags, in one sitting, to reach the LD50 for a 100kg 'person.' I think we are safe.

Our Trojan Forge member of the week is Katie may. Katie is the one that you guys talk to when you place an order. She also makes sure that everyone is staying on task. She also stays in communication with the CAD team to see where projects are and for when they are done.
