| “Love the Launch” |
At the end of every school year many students
are involved in a variety of academic and entrepreneurial competitions. Some of
these are based on technology and occupational skills developed through
participation in CTE programs and related CTSO (Career Technical
Student Organizations) like SkillsUSA Florida, the Technology Student
Association (TSA) and FIRST® Robotics. But there are many others. Recently, the
High School High Tech (HSHT) program under the Able Trust hosted a virtual finalist
competition for Project Venture. East Ridge High School in Lake County
took the top prize with their “Love the Launch” condiment launcher!
HSHT works with students with
disabilities (SWD) in most school districts across the state. A program
coordinator provides special resources and guidance to help students in the
program become workplace ready. The goal of the Project Venture competition is
to put students into a situation where they are developing real-world
applicable workplace skills, including working in groups, delegating,
timelines, written communications, problem solving, and “Big Picture” thinking.
