Riley went to the TSA Conference with Dixon Middle School to Jordan Applied Tech Center in West Jordan. He left the house at 5:30 am and returned home at 7:30 pm. He built a couple of airplanes and had to fly them and write everything down in a portfolio to take to the conference. His teacher gave him the red tie and oversized jacket to wear to the conference so they all match. From what we understand, this is a quite a big deal. While he is at the conference, he has to built his own bridge in a certain amount of time and then have weight put on it. He competed with other 7th graders from 6 different middle schools in the state. Then they have awards later in the evening. Riley received 3rd place for his bridge building. Riley has been staying after school every Monday to work on this project and refine it. He loves building things and making them work. He has become our little engineer.
