OTEC Students on Channel 7

26 second-year students built a 1,368 square foot house that was moved from OTEC to it's permanent location about a half mile away. These students worked very hard and used the skills they learned during their time at OTEC. Eight students of the 26 are from Rochester Community Schools;  Michael Ackerman, Jake Wilks, Mackay Mahrle, Juan Roldan Gonzalez, Pedro Rivera, Brody Maust, Robert Olechowski, and Ryan Rope. Well done all involved.
