Another thank you goes to Mr. Mueller and our TREK students who came to showcase their individual projects that were created this past semester for TREK. The engagement of individuals in your presentations was wonderful to see.

Have you ever heard of Waukesha MADE? - Waukesha MADE is a partnership between the School District of Waukesha and local businesses. As of today those businesses are local manufacturers but the partnership is looking to grow in the areas of construction, autos and printing. One of the best portions of the MADE partnership is the collaboration of our students with these companies. These companies bring real world projects to our students looking for real world solutions and look to have their people work with our students to problem solve and accomplish these tasks. The mentorship is amazing and this partnership is continuing to grow in a positive direction. One of these projects involved WEST students who primarily worked with local manufacturer Weldall to build the table and water tank for a new CNC Plasma cutter exclusive to West. The capabilities are exceptional!!! We had many companies and people donate funds and their time to make this happen. Kudos to West/North technology education teacher Fred Schroedl for his hard work in making this reality. Enjoy the montage video below:
