Construction Careers Council
The construction industry includes electricians, engineers, HVAC technicians, and heavy equipment mechanics just to name a few! Skilled trade professionals build the homes we live in, the schools we learn in, and the roads we travel on. Right now, West Michigan needs thousands of new workers in construction, and jobs are available in every part of the industry. Whether you enjoy working with your hands, solving problems or leading teams, construction has a path for you.
AQ Saints Science Camp
Description
The AQ Science faculty are excited to host the Saints Science Camp again this year, building on our tradition of offering creative, fun and interactive “hands-on” summer science programs. We seek to inspire campers with awe and wonder about the beauty and complexity of nature, and we also begin to plant the seeds of "service through science."
Science is all around us, and we look forward to exploring scientific challenges with you, and finding answers to design and engineering questions. We are excited to welcome campers to our stunning state-of-the-art science building, better known as the Albertus Magnus Hall of Science! The camp fee includes all materials, supplies, classes & a camp T-Shirt!

Design a toothpick bridge and test its strength
