Happy Graduation!

Thanks for a fantastic year!

It was a gorgeous evening for an auspicious occasion.

I recieved some very meaningful feedback this evening. It's difficult to be everything for everyone and I'm proud to have made a positive difference for as many as I did.

Thank you for the opportunity... have a great summer!

The Seniors will be missed.

Looking forward to next year!

Period 3 & 5 Final Challenge

Greetings Engineers,

Here is a final engineering design challenge to wrap the year up with a bang!

You have the next two hours to exercise your creative and technical skills on this problem.


Challenge: Many members of the CHS Senior class will be heading off to college in the fall. Once at school, bicycles will be the primary mode of transportation for most. Student housing is often cramped. How can students store their bike inside without impacting their and their roommates living space?





Design a Bicycle storage system that allows a student to keep their bike indoors without taking up major space in their living areas.

Utilize the design process we've learned this year to generate a solution to this problem.
