Have you ever thought much about the spaces in which you learn and work? Architect David Gaudreau certainly has. David has helped design projects for many schools and colleges in the area, including Calvert Hall and Morgan State University. He spoke with the students about the process behind an architecture project and different types of architecture.
“This conversation brought a new possible career path that I want to look into. I like building and creating things so everything he described had my attention. I liked hearing the process of what goes into creating buildings. I also found it interesting how he described a solution to the pole matched up pretty close to what I was thinking of. Then finally I learned how curved drywall is laid down, that was really cool,” said 9th grader Jacob.
“I loved today’s conversation with Mr. David Gaudreau. He talked a ton about what he does as an architect, what he helped design and build, his family business, and taught us a thing or two on the Architecture field. What was also good was that we learned about his favorite designs and projects he worked on. We would love to see him come back soon and possibly help us build a recording studio in the future. He has definitely persuaded me to work in some part of the architectural field while in the engineering field as well,” Sean, a junior, said about the discussion.

We were honored to welcome back former TCS teacher Dr. Genira Nelson today. She presented her research about women and economics in South Africa to the students today. Dr. Nelson has a degree from Morgan State University and obtained her doctorate from Howard University. The presentation was about her research on South African women’s jobs.
Ninth grader Ronan said, “The conversation with Ms. Genira was amazing because I didn’t know that much about South Africa until she came and talked about people’s lives and what women do for a living. I also liked the ending because it got tied into our current events class, with how we can make the world a better place. I loved also meeting and learning about Ms. Genira and her life, because she told us to be ourselves and to have drive which is a big part of the school.”
Everyone enjoyed having “Ms. Genira” back at the school and look forward to seeing her again soon.
