9th Graders Visit Otak
On Wednesday, a bus full of 20 students from Reynolds High School drove into Otak’s parking lot ready to learn. Inside they were greeted by friendly faces from numerous Otakians within different disciplines – architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, human resources, marketing, surveying, to name a few. Students were split into two groups, and led around the building by Otak “tour guides” to learn about who we are and what we do. Engineers explained drawings, marketers handed out proposals, and landscape architects revealed renderings. Each student was instructed to write down what they learned from each discipline, specifically responsibilities associated with each. After a couple hours of running around the building, the students sat down to discuss what they learned over pizza and soda. We hope that this rare opportunity was an eye-opening experience for the students. It certainly was for us Otakians.
