Oakland University "Band/String Week" at ITA was a success! Dr. Klena, the head of the music education department at OU, visited the ITA band and string classes on Monday and Tuesday virtually with her students to give a presentation. They discussed degree programs for music at OU, suggestions for practicing your instrument, discussed college life from the perspective of college students, OU students performed pieces on their respective instruments and provided a Q & A at the end. The presentation was very engaging and inspiring for our students.
Our high school "virtual" robotics team won the "Presenting the Vision Award" for this season's Oakland County Competive Roboticds Association (OCCRA).
Students met virtually this fall with our mentors (who are former Pontiac graduates and current engineers) and designed a robot using CAD modeling which the students did 100% on their own, only with guidance from the mentors. The students then had to create a 5 minute video describing their process (See attached).
The award was described as "The best overall presentation effort" by the OCCRA judging committee.
2 ITA Seniors were selected as the MVP and honorable mentions for our team for their leadership and dedication.
