Photos: high school students learn about engineering, computing careers

More than 150 students from 11 high schools across West Michigan visited Grand Valley State University December 4 to learn about career opportunities in engineering and computing. 

During the Padnos College of Engineering and Computing’s Project Day, Grand Valley students showcased their semester-long projects throughout the halls of the Kennedy Hall of Engineering.

Projects included a Tic-Tac-Toe game that uses artificial intelligence to beat the human player; the Hugging Chair, a device created to calm children with autism and other impairments; and the Comfortable Catch, a device that attaches to walkers during physical therapy and allows a patient to sit and rest.
