Cara’s bridge, “Fruit Loog,” stood out with an impressive strength-to-weight ratio of 142.42%—a great example of smart design, efficient use of materials, and solid engineering principles. Creativity and structural performance came together beautifully.
As part of this achievement, Cara also won a custom set of cornhole boards made by our Construction Technologies Lab, showcasing the craftsmanship and collaboration across our programs.
Well done on an outstanding achievement, Cara!
This achievement is a big step in mastering the tools that turn engineering concepts into real-world manufacturing solutions. From precise layouts to production-ready designs, AutoCAD is a cornerstone skill in modern engineering—and Cooper is building a strong foundation for the shop floor and beyond. Well done on this milestone and keep engineering the future! ⚙️📐

Our second round of the Bridge Building Competition took place this afternoon, and once again the students rose to the challenge! More creative designs, careful testing, and outstanding teamwork were on full display. We’re so proud of their hard work and perseverance! 👏💪
🌉 Bridge Building Contest – Round 1 Complete! 🌉🛠️
This morning we kicked off the first round of our Bridge Building Contest, Ripley 5th–8th grade students impressed us with their creativity and engineering skills!
The Challenge:
Students were tasked with building a bridge using only 25 balsa wood sticks and glue—no extras allowed!
Testing Process:
🔹 Each bridge was weighed before testing
🔹 The bridge was placed on the testing machine (TM)
🔹 Two ropes and a 5‑gallon bucket were attached
🔹 Sand was slowly added until the bridge failed
🔹 The final sand weight determined the maximum load applied
📋 Each entry received a score card documenting the bridge weight and maximum load held.
Great teamwork, problem-solving, and determination were on display today. We can’t wait to see how the next round goes—stay tuned! 💪✨
Next round is this afternoon.
As part of their project, they designed and built an application to streamline the student sign-in and sign-out process. Through thoughtful problem-solving and real-world application of Six Sigma principles, they successfully reduced the time it takes by an impressive 39%.
This is exactly what innovation, hard work, and practical learning look like in action. Proud of the impact they’ve made!
🎉 Congratulations, Noah Cenci! 🎉
We’re proud to recognize Noah as this week’s EHS Athlete of the Week, proudly sponsored by RE/MAX 🏅🏆
