After months of planning and designing, UEHS students in the technology and engineering department, under the guidance of teacher Mike Wichowski, are reaping the rewards of hard work as their “Kids CAN Build” structure won the 2024 Overall Best Design!
Kayla Pastalan, Caleigh Parker, Sneha Saha, John Herzing, Amelia Swavola, Kathryn Pascarelli, Tristan Huff, Melanie Scalcione, Madilyn Swavola, Coral Keller, and Ally Mariano combined engineering, architecture, and design to create their submarine using 2,700 cans.
Students worked with an industry professional to talk through their design and figure out how to make the cans connect. A lot of behind-the-scenes work goes into this for the students, such as calculating how many cans they need, what color cans, and how to get them to interlock.
