Southern Alberta students prepare for the future
Gathering at Lethbridge Polytechnic, students from across southern Alberta built wind-powered cars during a fun engineering day away from the classroom.
“The Wind Rally was really supposed to focus on core competencies in the trades,” said Peter Gallagher with the Southern Alberta Collegiate Institute.
The aim of the day was for students to sample various roles to learn what they enjoy doing and what they don’t.
As explained in the video above, students found fun in accounting, building and more.
