The US History Honors class have been researching early 19th century inventions and the Market Revolution. Today, they showed off their skills with "Shark Tank" style presentations for 5 separate inventions of the time period, trying to convince investors to give them seed money so their product can take off. Needless to say, the sharks were ruthless, but the investors held their ground. In the end, some business deals were made!

Want to know more about the Hoby Youth Leadership Program? Ask Kaylin Bartee and Lynzie Hill! Both students attended the program last summer and plan to attend again as junior staff members.

The 8th grade PLTW class conducted an experiment today using play dough, distilled water, lights, and battery packs. The students used the battery packs and lights to make a circuit. Then they were encouraged to test out other conductive materials such as copper wire, electric thread, and more lights.
In the end, students noticed that if they put the insulation play-dough between the conductive play dough it caused a short circuit and the lights would not light up.
