🏫 Bulldog +1 STEM Camp – Day 4 Recap: A Real-World Look at the Future! Last week, our students had the incredible opportunity to visit Southern Regional Technical College (SRTC)—and it was nothing short of inspiring! From healthcare and engineering to computer science and manufacturing, students explored a wide range of high-demand career pathways. The highlight of the day was touring SRTC’s Smart Manufacturing Lab, where students got a firsthand look at how automation, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and precision systems are used in today’s cutting-edge industries. 🤖⚙️🔧 Students got hands-on demonstrations, and saw how the STEM concepts they’re learning now connect directly to exciting future careers. It was a powerful moment of realization: “This could be me one day.” Experiences like these are what Bulldog +1 is all about—exposing our students to real opportunities and planting the seeds for success beyond the classroom. #BulldogPlus1 #SmartManufacturing #FutureReady #CareerPathways #SRTCTour #STEMinAction #ThomasvilleCitySchools #CTAE #STEMCamp2025 #HarperElementary #ScottElementary #JergerElementary

🛠️ Bulldog Engineers in Action – Day 3 Recap of STEM Camp! Our young innovators rolled up their sleeves and dove headfirst into engineering challenges that tested their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills! 💡 Students worked collaboratively to plan, build, test, and improve their designs. Every project was a chance to think critically, experiment with materials, and bring ideas to life—true design thinking in motion! 🌉💨 These hands-on challenges not only sparked curiosity but also built confidence as our campers tackled real-world problems just like engineers do. This is what Bulldog +1 is all about—preparing students with skills for the future through engaging, meaningful learning opportunities. #BulldogPlus1 #EngineeringDay #DesignThinkers #ProblemSolvers #STEMEducation #ThomasvilleCitySchools #TCSProud #FutureReady #HarperElementary #ScottElementary #JergerElementary

🤖 Code. Build. Think. Day 2 Recap at Bulldog +1 STEM Camp! We kicked off Bulldog +1 STEM camp with two exciting days of hands-on learning in robotics and coding! Students teamed up to build and program robots while diving into the basics of coding—learning how both work hand in hand to power the tech-driven world around us. From guiding robots to experimenting with code logic and problem-solving, our campers got a powerful introduction to the skills behind innovation and automation. 💡🔧 We’re proud to spark curiosity and lay the foundation for future careers in STEM—starting right here in Thomasville City Schools! #BulldogPlus1 #STEMCamp #CodingAndRobots #HandsOnLearning #ThomasvilleCitySchools #FutureReady #TCSProud #HarperElementary #ScottElementary #JergerElementary
