Student Built Suspension Bridge
Camille Hogge
During the last part of first semester, Kaysville Jr High's 9th grade engineering class wanted to build a suspension bridge that would hold the entire class. The students calculated all the math, drew up the plans, and wrote each job description. This included the loading calculations for the main cable, and deck bending movements, the math formulas for the main cable and deck layout, abutment loads, caisson and footing details, and tower construction. It has been a very intense learning experience. The class all stood on it and it held great. Calculating with students standing on it, it held well over 2000 lbs (a Ton).
Catalyst Center

CATALYST CENTER opened January 2022!
The Catalyst Center is the place where innovation, collaboration and education meet. Our CTE magnet school brings Davis School District students, local business and industry mentors together. The Catalyst Center is part of the nationally recognized CAPS Network (Center for Advanced Professional Studies). CAPS students fast forward to their future careers and are fully immersed in a professional culture. They develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills by working in collaborative groups to complete real-world projects while being mentored by industry partners.
