Students in different disciplines often use what they've learned to collaborate on projects in MCPSS career tech programs. Bryant Career Technical Center science students researched bluebird habitats and nesting box specifications. Students in its manufacturing class built bluebird houses and used a CNC plasma cutter to create guards to keep squirrels out. This hands-on collaboration is a perfect example of Project-Based Learning coming to life — combining technical skills, scientific research, and teamwork for a real-world environmental project! #LearningLeading #PerseverancePropelsProgress
