Foster Career and Technical Education Center’s yurt, seen here on Tuesday, March 12, is used by the program not only as a learning space, but was also a learning experience in itself. According to Pre-Engineering Instructor Jake Bogar, the students helped construct the decking and then assembled the yurt when it arrived. “It came in a kit, but it was not like pitching a tent,” he shared.
