On April 30th, students in the CHS Electronics classes hosted their annual Electronics Showcase 2026, an interactive, science-fair-style event open to families, staff, and students. The showcase highlighted the continued growth and strength of the electronics program, both in enrollment and in the increasing complexity and quality of student-designed projects. Students are not only building technical skills year after year, but are also returning from freshman through senior year eager to take on more advanced challenges and expand their learning.
Student projects included industry automation with programmable logic controllers, microprocessor controlled circuits, audio circuits, games, servos, motors, LED lighting, and even a fully-functional Tesla coil. Students utilized AI skills in the design and improvement of their projects. Other engineering skills evident during the event included soldering, circuit board design, computer modeling, 3D-printing, ceramics, carpentry, and metal work. The support of the entire CHS CTE teaching staff created an incredible team culture as many students crossed curricular lines utilizing support from many sources across our school.
Throughout the event, students confidently explained their designs, shared challenges and successes, and demonstrated strong pride in their work and professionalism in their presentations. In addition to these hands-on learning experiences, students in the Electronics program also have the opportunity to earn up to 17 articulated college credits through the Community Colleges of Spokane, providing them with a valuable head start toward post-secondary education and career pathways in technical fields. Great work, Hawks!
