WHAT: The pre-ACT and ACT are required state assessments that are taken in the spring. To best prepare students for the assessment, we do two practice assessments. This not only gives students an opportunity to practice, but it also gives teachers an idea of what areas each student needs to continue building.

WHO: All 9th, 10th, and 11th graders

Anatomy Physiology and AP Biology students had the opportunity to interact with people who work at Medtronic Physiological Research Laboratories!

Experts in their fields showcased various medical devices manufactured by Medtronic and offered hands-on activities. Students could discuss career pathways and gain insights into key departments such as Pathology, Medical Laboratory Scientist, Biocompatibility, Veterinary Sciences, and Animal care.

This trip provided a comprehensive overview of Medtronic's innovative work in medical technology and an inside look at various STEM fields.
