The robotics team from Nimitz High School took part in the Career and Technology Education (CTE) program’s “Fall Career Expo.”

The event took place at the Campbell Educational Center earlier this school year. 

Nimitz robotics students Gregory Montelongo, Ángel Romero and Ashley Arana greeted District elementary students. They talked about careers in robotics and answered questions.

In Aldine ISD, CTE high school students can choose an engineering career cluster.

More than 2,000 students visited with the Nimitz group. The Nimitz students also demonstrated VEX robots to students. David Ericson lauded the Expo. Ericson is the robotics instructor at Nimitz HS.

“The event allows students to see the CTE programs showcased,” said Ericson. “The students can then choose which career path suits them best.”
