Mr. Doug Gross and Mr. Bryan Harris wanted to give a big shout out to everyone who helped the kids along the way.  Thank you to all the wonderful Tech Ed staff members, Steve Snyder, Barrett Airaghi, and Amy Krellwitz, for guiding and instructing kids in using the fancy equipment for their builds.  We wouldn’t be able to do some of these more complicated build events without you.  Another thank you to Juliana Stroup who despite not coaching the team this year, spent countless hours helping get everything set up and providing valuable advice.  We qualified for the state competition and will be down at UVA in a few weeks.
