About Us

Hello fellow bloggers, we are team DO WORK, and we finna go HAM! We are in engineering academy at Spain Park High School, and are going to be blogging about the different engineering jobs. Our group includes David, Nick, Drew, and Sam; all freshmen at Spain Park. We all run Cross Country, and Drew and David play Lacrosse. We all wear morph suits around like idiots most of the time. We are a fun and interesting group of engineers;)
