Engineering / Technology Dept now has a YouTube Channel

To all students, parents, and staff

Unfortunately our current set up with blogger  has a file size limit which our SuGo Competition is breaking. In order to get around this limitation we got ourselves our own YouTube channel to highlight student work.

A few things of note, any student can contact the teacher directly and obtain any video they are in. Also we have turned the comment moderation feature on so we won't have to put up with people who are less then positive.

At this very moment we are uploading SuGo competition videos. We hope you like them.

Here is but one of the many videos we are working on.
