March 2015
Last weekend some
Engineering and Media Productions students participated in annual competition
as part of their CTE program.
Participants traveled to Valley Vista High School in Surprise to compete
in the regional event. Shannon Batton
and Chris Douglas represented Media Productions in the Digital Cinema
competition. The objective was for them
to create a 2-3 minute video titled “The Note”.
Videographers only had five hours to write the script, film the video
and complete editing. Shannon and Chris
competed again twelve other teams and took 3rd place overall.
Our engineers brought
the robots they have been working on since the beginning of the year. Opponents showcased their robots on a field
as part of the competition. They also
had to provide their engineering notebooks illustrating their design process,
and deliver a presentation to the judges.
Senior Anthony Encinas placed first at this regional match. Fourth place was awarded to Marcos Gonzalez
and Jose Valenzuela and fifth went to Nick Ramirez and Sergi Lakrikov. Clearly, all of their year, long preparation
paid off!
Congratulations to these
two programs for a job well done. Both
groups will move on to the state competition in April and we are wishing them
the very best of luck.
