From healthcare to tech, construction to entrepreneurship, our students got hands-on experience and real-world advice from professionals in our very own community. A huge THANK YOU to all the businesses that took the time to share their expertise and passion!

So what is all the hype about?
Planets in “alignment”.
The planets in this model have been positioned to mimic how the real planets are arranged in space in our solar system. See how they are all on the same side of the Sun.
So when the Sun sets, this allows all of the planets to be visible in our dark evening sky.
They are not literally in a line, but they are all visible on one side of the Sun after sunset.
Think positively for clear evening skies over the next few days/weeks so we can have opportunities to view this once in a lifetime (or once in millennia) spectacular sight.
