2018 Halloween

Wishing Everyone a Fun and Safe Halloween!!!

Need a STEAM idea to celebrate?
Look no further than Jack-o-Lanterns.

The science behind Jack-o-Lanterns requires knowledge of lighting, luminosity, brightness, and transparency & opaque properties.

Technology has made Jack-o-Lanterns safer through the development of light sources operated by batteries and LED lights rather than candles and open flames.

Engineering and Art design are a must if you want to achieve the best lighting effects for the design of your Jack-o-Lantern.

Through the use of precise mathematical calculations, a Jack-o-Lantern can be replicated and improved upon.

October 2018


Lithia Park, OR. 2015


October brings the orange hue of the foliage and pumpkins.

Fall is in its beginning stages as leaves change color then fall.

Autumn makes its presence felt with a cool night and a cold front.

Indigenous People are recognized, honored, and remembered.

Halloween serves to reminds us of innocence and death.
