Klamath Basin high school sets a high bar in engineering and robotics education

Yes, students work on engineering and robotics in the Klamath Basin. Big deal, right? But the context shifts when you realize this is not a story about Oregon Institute of Technology, but a high school in the Klamath County system.

Henley High School in Klamath Falls boasts robotics and engineering programs available across all four years of high school, plus classes and clubs for even younger grades. Henley’s is one of several robotics programs that Pacific Power supports through its education and STEM grants. We get a taste of the many offerings, and the enthusiastic student response, in a chat with engineering/robotics teacher Kristi Lebkowsky and student Makay Clark, a Henley senior. They continue our education week focus in this conversation.
