Engineering at Wichita High School East is a great way to get hands on experience for engineering and technical careers and to discover which is right for you.
Had a great day a Derby Robotics Tournament. Bruce Hernandez and Ian Collette are in the running for state by getting 2nd in the Skills Competition and Tan Nguyen, Tyler Larson, and Nolan Brown won the Sportsmanship Award
Throwback Thursday on a Tuesday! The students are learning the wonders of a VHS tape during a Reverse Engineering project. They especially LOVE unwinding and playing with the tape! #EastEngineering#BlueAceNation
In CIM class students learned how to get machines to talk to each other. These students were creative and used two robot arms and created a “catapult.” The students started one arm and the rest of the machines are started by each other. #EastEngineering#BlueAceNation
Great robotics tournament at Topeka. One brand new team learned a lot today. The two other teams made it to the first round of the finals. All the kids had a fun time! #EastRobotics#BlueAceNation
Bruce Hernandez, Tan Nguyen, and Ian Collette just had the highest scoring round while teamed with Maize with 192 points! East High Robotics is doing great today! #EastRobotics#BlueAceNation
Three teams competing in VEX robotics today in Topeka. It was a long drive from Wichita, but we are looking forward to having fun! #EastRobotics#BlueAceNation
One team made it to the finals, but unfortunately went out during the first round. Both teams did great and made huge improvements today. Back home for more practice and preparation for the next tournament in Topeka. #EastEngineering#BlueAceNation
Robotics club has done a great job today helping run the middle school tournament at Gordon Parks. They volunteered to help score, referee, and run matches. They are now gearing up for there own competition tomorrow.
Competing at Hesston today in VEX Robotics. Looking to have a fun day. The kids have put in a lot of time on these robots. #EastEngineering#BlueAceNation#WPSProud
Students in the Engineering Design and Development course are developing a better method to run wire. Research included touring node rooms and the tunnels under East High. Thanks to Kelly Dunkelberger for the tour and Amber Lovelace for the photos. #EastEngineering#BlueAceNation
Working on a basic concept in #CIM, the automated transfer system. They need to add some sensors and do some programming, but they are coming along nicely. #EastEngineering#BlueAceNation
Sometimes your project doesn’t work the first time, or the twentieth 😁. The important thing is that you keep trying until you succeed! #EastEngineering#BlueAceNation
