CFE Homecoming Tailgate

We’re celebrating homecoming on October 20th with a CFE Tailgate!  Hamburgers and Hotdogs and Springer Football against Atlee – what could be better!  We’re inviting all current and former CFE students to come out for a fun afternoon starting at 5:00 behind the Design Lab.  Visit with old friends, enjoy some good food, and see what’s happening in the CFE!  Sign-Up here.  See you at the tailgate!

Team CFE and their Trebuchet top all competitors at Punkin’ Dunkin 2014!

CFE students and alumni hurled pumpkins into 1st place at Punkin’ Dunkin 2014 on Saturday!  With a best throw of 213 feet, Overkill, the team’s trebuchet, beat 5 other entries to capture the win.

Pumpkin Palooza visitors lined up for hours to toss pumpkins of all sizes into the waters of Lake Rooty.

Great fun was had by all that came out!

CFE and Science team up to win a $2500 grant from Dominion!

Students from the CFE and Science will be working together on an Automated Solar-Powered Irrigation System for our new raised-bed garden.  The $2500 will fund research and development of an expandable system that will help students connect with their food supply.  See the article in Wednesday’s Richmond Times-Dispatch for more!
