SiO2 An Exploration in Glass for High School Students



Would you be interested in learning to create beautiful pieces of hand blown glass?  With Blenko in our community we have a perfect place to create an apprenticeship program for our high school students.  Do you think Cabell County Schools should partner with Blenko to make this a reality? We know that if schools are going to equip students to be successful in the work force, they must look at all industries and plan accordingly.  You will be working in groups to create a presentation for the next board meeting to introduce the idea of a high school apprentice program at Blenko Glass Company.  Many things must be considered when implementing such a program.  Your goal is to convince the board that this would be beneficial to the students of Cabell County as well as the Blenko community.  You will need an informative document highlighting the goals and benefits.  Additionally, create a multi media presentation to communicate your desires for the program.

  3. We do need to get a partnership with Blenko! If we could do a year-long study with them that would be awesome!!
