"For the past few months, a group of engineering students from San Jose State University has been working on a project that's sure to land them at the top of Santa's nice list. Instead of building the next AI platform, they've been trying to bring smiles to the faces of kids and adults by making penguins fly for Christmas in the Park."
"The San Jose State crew seniors Derek Do, Cesar Jair Romero Callejas, Daniel Jimenez Hernandez, Mark Bennett and Zachary McGee worked with Christmas in the Park Program Manager Keith Peffer to do more than that. They replaced the old plush penguins with new figures made out of fiberglass that can flap their wings as they descend.

A team of San Jose State University engineering seniors rebuilt the Penguin Flight School display at Plaza de Cesar Chavez for Christmas in the Park. The students worked on the project since the beginning of the year as part of their Senior Design Class. They repaired the worn exhibit and replaced old plush penguins with new fiberglass figures that can flap their wings as they descend. The project involved collaboration with Christmas in the Park managers and aimed to restore the whimsical carousel of parachuting penguins for public enjoyment during the holiday season.
