It is hard not to notice the 3 large machines in the back of Mr. Ortiz's and Mr. Stamp's rooms, but what are they? Turns out, they are brand new 3D printers! What was once a concept designed by 7th grade students, is now reality as they design and print their objects. The 3D printers are allowing students to see how their design on the computer translates into real life application.
It is easy to get lost watching the printers create, but that isn't all that is happening. Eighth Grade students are creating motorized vehicles to accomplish different challenges. Fastest, Slowest, Best Climber, are just some of the obstacles that each build team will face. Now with the 3D printers, you can add vehicle parts design to the other many things students are accomplishing in Industrial Tech.
