 * Project "Vehicle":**

The entree of the project would be to have different professionals from the community come in and talk to the class about their jobs. This would be an open forum type of setting so that the professionals could talk about their job and when they are all finished students could ask them questions. This would help them to decide what direction they would like to go with their projects.
