Wheat Ridge Stem Engineering

This week in engineering, several project approvals were finalized and presented, while other initiatives remain in active development. On the prototype car team, the mechanical group successfully installed and tested the new seat belt system. Meanwhile, the electrical group focused on creating detailed car engine diagrams within a simulation program, which will allow them to conduct virtual testing moving forward.

Progress is also well underway for the battlebot team. The bots are currently being prepared and worked on, marking a highly successful start to their development phase.

In addition to project work, the department focused

heavily on STEM outreach this week. Teams presented to Engineering 1 classes, aiming to inspire students new to the Wheat Ridge STEM program to pursue future engineering pathways. Looking ahead to next week, the team will visit local middle schools to present our engineering programs to incoming high school students.

Thank you for your continued support!!
