Students taking CAD 1 (Computer Aided Design) in the Engineering program at McKay competed in designing and constructing the most efficient bridge made of balsa wood.   The students were given the criteria and rules in early April.  Next, they completed their designs using AutoCAD software to produce scaled drawings of their bridges.  They were then sent home with their drawings, glue and balsa wood and given roughly 2 months to construct the bridge.  Testing the bridges was completed this week.  Students weigh their bridges, take pictures, and test it by hanging a bucket from the bridge and pouring sand into the bucket until failure (total destruction) has occurred. Then they compute the efficiency. (The weight of the bridge vs the weight it held). 

Mr. Wenger the instructor says, “It is always interesting to see what they come up with.” This was a record setting class.  The 1^st place winner Justin Walker designed and constructed a bridge that only weighed 17.4 Grams, which is the lowest of all time for a winner. Congratulations to all these students. Their future in Engineering looks very bright.

The results are as follows: 

1^st place – Justin Walker-  weight applied 49.4 lbs.  Efficiency  – 1289 lbs.
2^nd place – Edouard Boyzo -weight applied 58.4 Efficiency – 858 lbs.
3^rd place –  Dylon Stover –  weight applied 31.4 Efficiency – 801lbs

McKay is partnering with Goodwill Job Solutions to host a Job Fair on June 9 from 1:00 to 3:00pm at Goodwill Job Solutions on North Lancaster. Come explore possibilities to build your future.

On Saturday, May 19, 2018, students from McKay, Clagget Creek and South Salem High school competed together as teams (1 or 2 students from each school on a team together) creating Appetizers, Entrees and Desserts.

Our Master of Ceremonies for the event was ORLA Member Greg Astley. Greg did a phenomenal job of keeping everything moving along and making sure the audience was engaged in what was happening during the cooking process, judging and the various roles the kids had in preparing for this event.

A huge shout out to South Salem Culinary Management Student KYLEE HARRIS for creating this event, promoting it, organizing it and helping to make sure it ran very smoothly! (This was a major part of her Management grade in class).
Also thank you to South Salem Manufacturing Technology students for hand making the trophies.
Thank you to South Salem Graphic Arts students for hand pressing the shirts all the kids wore. 

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who came out and supported our district culinary kids. We are all in this together in the Salem-Keizer School District.

ALL students graduate and are prepared for a successful life.
