Andrew Welk is creating impressive projects in his 1st semester at CAPS. His passion for music—serving as the drum major at AHS—has fueled his creative process. He has produced saxaphone mouthpieces, percusion block handles and a drumstick holder. Impressive!

Cambridge Family Dentistry has been a fantastic partner with CAPS for the last few years. Emma Whiddon and Hailey Snow created a video for them and said they learned about communication, compromise, time management, and being self-directed. Sounds like it was a great experience!

There are so many incredible projects happening in the Engineering strand. The students spent the first part of the semester learning 3D modeling programs and how to use the machines and tools in the engineering lab safely. They are putting their newly acquired skills to work!

Medical Monday! The 3rd graders from Sunflower paid CAPS a visit. The medical students set up 3 engaging activities to educate them about the skeletal, muscular & nervous systems. They enjoyed dancing, coloring, & even had their reflexes tested. It’s hard to say who had more fun!

The Engineering strand has a new 3D printer to master. Just recently they received the Formlabs Form 4 Printer. This 3D printer is MUCH faster than the ones we currently have in the engineering lab. Can’t wait to see what amazing items the students will create!
