My name is Bill Richardson, and I am the teacher/instructor for the Ridgeland High School Academy of Engineering. The academy focuses on engineering, CAD, robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, and highly technical skills throughout its successive years. Students will become skilled in problem solving, CAD, robotics, additive manufacturing, CNC (subtractive) manufacturing, and design. We are currently phasing in Project Lead the Way (PLTW) with freshmen and will gradually integrate more PLTW classes as thode freshmen move up in grade level.
The Academy of Engineering webpage is located here.
