“We are thrilled Gov. Scott visited A.D. Henderson and FAU High today,” said FAU President John Kelly. “It was a wonderful opportunity to share information about the unique education Henderson’s students enjoy, and the exciting opportunities our duel-enrollment program provides.”

The tour showcased the schools’ STEM education and unique dual-enrollment program. Allan Phipps, FAU High STEM coordinator, demonstrated various projects in the STEM lab including a robotic hand, drones, 3D printing, laser cutting, etching, printing, CAD design, electric vehicle development, hydrogen cell vehicles, as well as autonomous robotics and water robotics.
