Afterschool Fun
C2 Pipeline has started off this year's afterschool program with a bang! Our sites offer 2.5 hours of programming Monday - Thursday. During this time, students receive dinner, academic help and participate in hands-on, project based enrichments. It's a terrific time for students to get to know their peers, have fun and learn about a plethora of career pathways.
At Waterford Mott High School, our students are currently doing a photography enrichment, where they learn the science behind capturing photographs and use their creativity to create unique and imaginative stills. Great job, guys!
Meanwhile, students at Warren Woods Tower High School have been using their engineering skillset to design and build catapults with common household objects. Teams competed to see who could engineer the catapult with the most force. As the program progresses, enrichments will continue to grow and build upon these concepts - giving students the critical thinking and problem solving skills that are necessary for those who wish to pursue a career in engineering!
Below, are pictures of students during independent study in our afterschool program. These photos were captured by Warren Mott High School's Olivia Rzedzian. Olivia is a member of Warren Mott's Youth Council as the Social Media Chairperson. Thank you for documenting these moments for us, Olivia!
Robot Rodeo
C2 Pipeline has added a fleet of Double Robotics Tele-presence robots to our program. Each of our sites will be using these devices to aid in their engineering/technology pathways. Additionally, the robot will allow students to have access to a multitude of guest speakers, as professionals from around the world are now only a "click" away from being in our schools.
