"Engineering & technology are fields of life-long learning."

Recently, on January,13,2017, students from the Academy of Engineering at Hialeah Gardens Senior High School in Miami,Fl were given the opportunity to build a water tower model that would follow certain established parameters of style and function.

Guidelines and formulas were given to determined students on the team, which allowed them to construct a stable water tower with the correct amount of water and efficient water flow.

Abnery Picon, Principal Environmental Engineer from Carollo, as well as her partner, took on the task of leading us through this experience and teaching us about the importance of water everywhere around us and how engineers can positively impact their communities.

Overall, the results of the competition were satisfactory, and we had the privilege of being a part of an experience that not only furthers our knowledge, but also engages us with the benefits of bettering our community.

These opportunities propel us towards innovation, creativity, environmental awareness, collaboration and many other noble causes - all while reaping every benefit of working with a highly talented group of educators, peers, companies, and schools.

From Hialeah Gardens High School, our Academy of Engineering, as well as Academy of Technology, proudly present the connections we need to build a strong foundation for the success of future endeavors. Driven by discipline, passion, ingenuity, the incorporation of mathematics with technology, a fresh perspective and other key elements... engineering leads to a better tomorrow.

To conclude, our participation in "AWWA-American Water Works Competition" was a true success - both for us and our community. This experience will undoubtably be the building block for future developments.
