The 8th grade Talent Search students spent the fall researching possible career options.
In the spring they
chose a field trip to explore a career they were specifically interested in. We visited
the Nelson+Morgan
architecture/interior design firm, a video/animator producer, Medical City Argyle,
spoke with a UNT lawyer
about various law careers, toured the Denton Community Theatre, and the Denton Police
department where
we were able to experience making molds of “evidence” in the forensic lab.
STRICKLAND MS TALENT SEARCH STUDENTS toured UNT Discovery Park and learned all about their engineering programs. One of the engineering concepts they learned about was in circuitry. Students learned about how electrons flow through circuits and travel between positive and negative terminals of a power source, such as a battery. After learning about these concepts, students assembled functioning flashlights utilizing popsicle sticks, copper wire, a battery, and electrical tape attached to an LED light!
WISE HEALTH SURGICAL CENTER in Argyle offered our TS students the most fantastic career day! Medical professionals gave presentations and spoke with our students about their career fields.
We learned all about the healing powers of a hyperbaric chamber and robotic surgery! We explored various types of imaging. We even got to speak to one of the most skilled surgeons as she gave us a presentation of her surgical tools. The staff were so attentive and personable with our students. We love you so much, Wise Health Surgical Center! More pictures to come…
