A group of Uniontown students attended PItt States Career Expo Open House today at the Crossland Technology Center. They were able to do small labs in the subject areas they expressed interested in. Several chose to run the mini excavator. Andruw Martin competed in a tire change and rotation competition. This opportunity gives them a chance to see the programs offered and ask any questions they might have as they start thinking about life after graduation.

Parent Meeting @ UHS March 12 6:30 PM
On Friday, February 28th the Science Department took 20 students (3 HS teams, and 1 JH team) to compete in the KidWind Challenge in Burlington. KidWind Challenge is an annual STEM competition that allows students to explore the power of wind energy by building and testing wind turbines and then competing against other teams in their age division (6th-8th, & 9th-12th). The Kansas KidWind Challenge is organized by the Kansas Energy Program, part of the Engineering Extension at Kansas State University. The Dust Bowl Team was awarded Judges' Choice for presentation; team members included: Klara Stock, Jewel Endicott, Reese Gorman, Macy Schoenberger and Adam Page. The JH Nimbus Eagle team was awarded 3rd place overall in the 6th-8th age group; team members included: Ash Sporleder, Allie Jarvis, Scarlett McCullough, Lily Robinson and Ty Shelton. Other individuals included Wind Thieves; team members included: Gaige Lape, Colter Powell, Darian Kibler, Dylon Diebert and Austin Maycumber and the Wind Piglets; team members included: Dredyn Marlow, Dakota Conner, Hunter Johnson, Mathew Knight and Landon Greenway. At the challenge, teams test their turbine for energy output in a wind tunnel, present their turbine design and build process to a panel of judges, take a knowledge quiz, and participate in a hands-on task called the "Instant Challenge." It was a great day for hands-on learning for our students!
