With the increased focus on career development in all grade levels, Triplett Tech is finding ways to bring a technical center to the elementary and middle school students. From that idea MAC (Mobile Access to Careers) Bus was born. Current students in auto body, electricity and carpentry took an old school bus painted and retrofitted it with workstations for students to explore multiple career clusters. Once students visit MAC they will travel to different stations that include a health sciences breathing lung, a virtual welder, a small engine repair, electricity wiring, fingerprinting, a hair braiding manakin, and many more before exiting the bus down a slide. Once outside, additional stations that include carpentry, fire fighter, and an interactive board for additional career exploration under an awning. Each of the stations has a hands-on component for students to try something new that they can reflect on adding to their career portfolio.
