OGDEN — A group of 10 students from high schools around the Weber School District spent the last semester learning to fix bicycles — and, later, giving them away — as part of a class at Weber Innovation High School that blends technical education with community service.
According to Weber School District Career and Technical Education Director Rod Belnap, bicycle repair is among the CTE course offerings statewide; however, only a handful of districts are actually teaching the class.
“With the state’s emphasis on the outdoors, we felt this was a great opportunity to introduce students to the many opportunities that there are to pursue careers and interests in the outdoor industry,” Belnap told the Standard-Examiner. “We felt like this was a chance to introduce students to and develop a skill that is in demand. Even if they don’t pursue a career in the outdoors, they have acquired a skill that they’ll use for the rest of their lives.”
