Braham technology class has built supermileage cars and a washing machine for outer space.
A rural Minnesota teacher whose students build equipment for NASA space flights and cars that get 500 miles per gallon has been named Teacher of the Year by a national group devoted to career and technical education.
CFANS alumnus Luke Becker, agricultural education, BS '09, who teaches agricultural technology and physics at Braham Area High School, was honored by the Association for Career and Technical Education. The school in Braham, a town of 1,800 residents some 60 miles north of the Twin Cities, has about 200 students enrolled.
Another Minnesota educator, Brad Greiman, a professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota, was honored by the group as Teacher Educator of the Year for his 42 years as an agricultural educator both at the high school and university levels.
