Imagine Tomorrow Pre-pre-judging.

Students stepped up their game and presented their Imagine Tomorrow projects to several judges from the science and engineering community.  This year, we have 15 teams competing to be selected to move on to WSU.  We can only bring eight teams for the final competition, so we are having students make two presentations-the first one was on Friday, Feb. 27 and it was designed to be a dress rehearsal.  Students presented their projects to judges and the judges gave students meaningful feedback on how to improve their projects.

 The next presentation date is on Thursday, April 9.  This date is the actual pre-judging date to determine which groups will move on to WSU at the end of May.

February Eighth Grade Visits Were a Hit!

We had several visitors during the month of February, checking out Ballard High School's variety of offerings.  Both parents and students visited the school throughout the month to experience the day in the life of a high school student.  Many thanks to our  Biotech students who helped with tours and allowed prospective students to shadow them during the day.
