Busy School Days for Addy









Addy has been super busy with several school projects. In the top Picture, Addy was chosen to attend the NHD event up at Eastern Washington University. She and her friend, Brooke, presented their NHD project to a panel of judges. They both designed a website with graphics (pictures, slide shows, and videos) about the Ku Klux Klan. They did an awesome job, but sadly they didn't win :( Addy had other things to worry about, like forgetting her coat and nearly freezing to death during a sudden blizzard!


In the middle picture, Addy and her teammates pose for a picture for their power point presentation in which they built a light bulb. Addy attends a STEM school (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) which is a very progressive and forward thinking school. They challenge the students with very high standards and then expect them to set goals for creating an even higher standard. Simply put: They have SO MUCH HOMEWORK! Addy just amazes me at how well she is handling this all. By her second week of school, Addy built a reed switch motor after designing it on a CAD program called, Solidworks. She is currently building a circuit board. I don't know what it's for (probably for a NASA space shuttle!)

And finally, I stole this last picture from one of her social network sites. (How else am I to get these pics?) Way to go Addy. I am so proud of you.
