New Tech Class!

Oil Change

Who knew an oil change was this much fun!.

For the first time Madill is offering an all female tech class! The idea is to allow young women the opportunity to learn valuable tech skills on their own terms. This class of senior students will be introduced to transportation, construction, and manufacturing skills with plenty of hands on experience!

Checking Under the Hood

These young women are learning transportation skills with a "hands-on" approach.

Comments

To be honest, I'm not really sure if the idea of having an all-female tech class is a good idea, I think that both males and females are equal, and should be in the same tech classes.
Last year I was the only girl in my tech class and that didn't effect anything, although i must say, maybe this class might just get more females interested in tech classes- we shall see.
