Our Vikings surely keep busy over summer break, sharpening their knowledge and gaining valuable experience to bring back to the classroom in the new school year. Junior Michael Tillman had the opportunity to attend the Project Lead The Way Engineering Camp at the Milwaukee School of Engineering! The weeklong program allows students to get a college experience, staying in the campus dorms and taking various introductory engineering classes.
"We participated in hands-on activities and had a lot of outside of the classroom fun as well," he said. "I met so many new people that became my friends after the program. It was a great experience that was offered to me by Ms. (Tiffany) White and I am very thankful for the opportunity. I look forward to attending other camps in the future!" Keep up the great work, Michael!
