Thompson High School Engineering Academy

The Thompson High School Engineering Academy is designed to help engineering students develop the skills and mindset to pursue opportunity with confidence.

Alabama’s Engineering Day expo was a success! Very thankful to @UofAlabama for hosting this great event!

The engineering students are working hard on designing bridges and working to make a bridge with the least amount of resources!

Getting some practice in making sound devices. Trying to prepare for @matecenter

The foundations classes are off to a great start this year! We are talking about structural integrity and resource management!

@ThompsonESports @THS_Warrior Thank you for the kind words, Stone! It’s been my pleasure!! Looking forward to watching these programs flourish albeit from a different POV. ……. I also look forward to you learning to solder since I’m gone 😂

[Thompson High School Engineering Academy @THS_EngrAcad]

@ThompsonESports @ThePSF @Raspberry_Pi @Alabasterk12 @THS_Warrior My pleasure! It’s always a good time when you combine @Raspberry_Pi , 3D printing, and some soldering! Also note the super-elegant 9v power supply for the solder fume fan. Hi tech stuff 😏

One of the things I love about this job is creating things to help teach students. Here is @THS_EngrAcad creating some boxes for teaching @ThePSF through @Raspberry_Pi. @Alabasterk12 @THS_Warrior

Buy a plunger before you need it.

When you are teaching how to use @Raspberry_Pi ‘s GPIO pins and you need a quick tester, just make your own (or ask @THS_EngrAcad to do it!) Before anyone asks - yes, there is a resistor under the heat shrink.

@ThompsonESports @Raspberry_Pi Have soldering iron, will travel (down the hall).

One of our awesome girls in STEM! Coding in @ThePSF in the morning and on the drill press at lunch. We need more like her! @Alabasterk12 @GirlsWhoCode @GirlsinTech @THS_Warrior @THS_EngrAcad

Our @THS_EngrAcad and computer science students in a Zoom meeting with Carmeuse. Thanks for participating in our Manufacturing Day 2021! @cityofalabaster @Alabasterk12 @THS_Warrior

It was a beautiful day for some field work! Engineering Systems students are doing a drainage study on the THS site. We mapped drainage areas and will use Excel to run storm water design calculations with the Rational Method and Manning’s Equation.

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing the committee's work as @alabamacte continues to grow.

[Thompson High School Engineering Academy @THS_EngrAcad]

@ThompsonESports Oh man... seconded!

Very cool new product from @Raspberry_Pi ! https://t.co/D7rTC1l4vc

[Thompson High School Engineering Academy @THS_EngrAcad]

We're very excited to about our new Engineering logo!
Thanks to Ian at https://t.co/93BTO2rRNI for making it happen!

Had a productive afternoon working with Coach Bullington to move our new tables into his room and setup the student workstations. The tables allow more elbow room for the students and space for dual monitors later on this semester. The space looks great!

After a brief COVID hiatus, the @AuburnEngineers collaboration on isolated wetland hydrology and bio geochemistry is off the ground.
