A group of five high school students—mostly girls wearing matching dark polo shirts—sit around white tables in a modern classroom, listening to a female adult speaker in a light blazer. The students appear attentive, facing the speaker with hands folded or resting on the table. On the tables are brochures, printed materials, a small cardboard architectural model, and a hexagonal tile sample. Behind them are computer monitors along the wall, a glass door, and a U.S. flag mounted on the wall. The room is bright with overhead lighting and has a clean, professional lab or classroom setting.

A wider view of the same classroom shows a diverse group of high school students—boys and girls—seated around connected white tables while a female adult speaker leads a discussion. Students wear casual clothing, including T-shirts and baseball caps, and appear engaged, some leaning forward or resting their chins on their hands. The tables are covered with brochures, booklets (including one titled “architectural guide”), a small cardboard building model, and design samples. Multiple computer monitors line the walls, and large interior windows reveal a workshop or lab space beyond. Posters and a digital clock are visible on the walls, reinforcing the classroom’s academic and career-focused environment.

Hear directly from our EPIC Work Based Learning interns what they think about their internships:
“One thing that I really enjoy about my internship is the people there. The physical therapists are both very welcoming and supportive. The patients are also very welcoming and enjoy asking me more about the EPIC program.” - Nick, intern at Douhan Physical Therapy
“One thing I enjoy about my position is that I get to learn lots of new skills; including how to set up and take off patients from the FES bikes, and how to use the hydroworks pool. It is interesting to see how the variety of therapy tools work and how they can help a variety of patients at different levels of injuries.” -Sophia, intern at Craig Hospital
“I enjoy the ability to enter coworkers' offices, whenever I have questions. Most if not all the people I get to work with have an open door policy, which allows for better communication, and easier access to knowledge.” - Gabe, intern at LPS IT Department
“One thing I really enjoy about my job is getting paid. Being able to work and earn money without taking any time outside of school helps me a lot with many things. Along with getting paid, learning other skills and having fun with my coworkers is another thing I enjoy about my job.” - Nate, intern with FCI
“I love getting to see the joy on my student’s faces every day. It's really powerful to know I’m making a difference in young people's lives. I love the team I work with, and I feel like I truly belong.” - Addie, intern at Little Raven Elementary

EPIC Construction Design AutoCad students presented their current projects to Lenski 5th graders in preparation for LENSKITOWN 2026. Lenski students scored EPIC presenters on eye contact, volume, speed/pacing, expression, memorization - not just speaking from a notecard, and organization. Lenski 5th grade students will soon be receiving a “family” in which they have to work collaboratively, make design choices, and build a 1D and 3D model home according to the “family” needs. Students will partner with EPIC Construction Design and Real Estate students throughout the rest of the semester to build Lenskitown.
