Engineering Structures Day February 21st for SWLSB Graduating Students

Explore your future!
Live a stimulating and unique career exploration experience.

Engineers must ask many important questions before designing and building a bridge:
What type of bridge is best suited for this project?
What materials should be used?
What will be the safety features?
In this extraordinary, hands-on module, students are faced with a similar set of questions, only on a smaller scale.

As they learn about everything from correctly placing abutments, piers, piles, and trusses to evaluating the effectiveness of a bridge, students are putting their engineering knowledge into practice by designing, building, and testing a balsa wood bridge.

In addition, great engineering structures of the past and present are covered with interesting facts and histories, including descriptions of the geodesic dome, Hoover Dam, and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Biotechnology and Genetics Day February 17th for SWLSB Graduating Students

 Explore your future!

Live a stimulating and unique career exploration experience.

In this project-packed module, students get a taste of a wide range of biotechnological concepts, processes, and uses.


They set up and complete a hydroponics experiment and grapple with tough bioethics case studies.

Students learn about basic genetics and how DNA works, to analyze biochemical compounds in materials using chromatography, and to use enzymes to cause biological reactions.

In addition, they are asked to observe the fermentation process and explore common biological pharmaceutical products, and finally, students complete blood typing experiments.

Plus, with the Biotech and Genetics module, students receive valuable practice with a number of biotechnology tools, including a microscope.
