Every year, the junior class- at least, the ones in the regular physics class- get ready to construct a daunting challenge: a Rube Goldberg machine. The rules are relatively simple: one can use any tools to build the Rube Goldberg, it must be built only at school, and as Ms. Clayton told her class, the "Engineer Daddies" can't build...
For the students in Ms. Carver's Engineering class and Engineering Independent
Study Club, the fascination and passion for engineering in the classroom is an everyday phenomenon. However, on April 23rd, those students were able to take their interests outside of the classroom as they traveled to Denton for a hands-on experience.
Ms. Carver, the faculty member in charge of the...
The Engineering Club completed their first major project of the year with the showcasing of their new Pedal Car. It drove in it's first race as the leadoff car in the final chariot race at ranger day for all to witness this past October. The pedal car marked the first of many awesome inventions the Engineer club looks to...

The following message was sent to the applicants this morning: "In light of the current fluid COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on research, as well as in an...
The sleek, still, shining, shimmering  silver exteriors of the tall, glimmering buildings hide the countless activities inside as medical students and researchers go about their everyday business-- studying, attending lectures, and working in labs. The food court teems with life as students purchase a snack from a vending machine or buy a fresh cooked meal from one of the...
Eighty feet below the surface of the ocean, just off the coast of Salt Island in the British Virgin Islands, the RMS Rhone, a 310 foot sunken British packet ship lies still, resting on the sand. After 145 years, the RMS Rhone is teeming with life ranging from corals to stingrays to barracudas. Up at the surface, nineteen Jesuit...
This year, a total of 17 new faculty have joined Jesuit Dallas' mission of creating men for and with others. Spread out across all departments, these new teachers may teach different classes and come from different backgrounds. However, they are united by their desire to inspire academic and spiritual growth in their students.
One of these new teachers is Ms....
Hallmarks of Jesuit physics, the annual Rube Goldberg projects are known for their difficulty but also their rewarding nature. Although they are certain to come with some frustration and head-scratching, these machines are ultimately rewarding, as students get to see a tiny marble set off a myriad of other processes, all on a contraption that they built themselves, culminating...
