Andrew Hopper and his coworkers are high school students at Broadwater High. They are on a job site, measuring and cutting boards to build a backyard garage, giving Hopper hands-on experience. "It gives us an introduction into citing, the actual building, concrete work, really anything you do on a job site in the real world," says Hopper, a junior at Broadwater High. The job site isnât a one-day event for these students. They are part of a construction technology class at Broadwater High that spends the entire school year building a project from start to finish. Mr. Clint Watson is the teacher of the class. Heâs constructed over 20 projects with students ranging from garages to stairways at local buildings, teaching them the trades skills in an unexpected setting, according to the students.
