Face shields cut in <10seconds each on the @RolandDGA on loan from @BournIdeaLab and @morrill_rob Thank you @FujifilmUS Open Innovation hub for PET! @EmergDesign #herobrigade
Wish so many folks in different jobs had first rate personal protective equipment like face shields, but until then: youtu.be/5_0kf3ocQno
Bourn Lab's satellite printing facility at capacity working on face shields to donate to medical workers, our frontline heros.
The Bourn Idea Lab is about to transport 3D printers to one of its satellite affiliates to help produce personal protective equipment for medical staff.

Here's the page of home-friendly making and designing projects I'm curating for those impacted by #covid19 closures. Many thanks to the great educators whose work appears here. Let's stay connected and supportive and creative!

Check out this fantastic resource created by @morrill_rob. 🌟
The resource site is ideal for students to browse no/low cost projects they can complete at home while complying with distance learning.

The Bourn Idea Lab wants to help everyone keep making, designing, and sharing even if we can't be together. Please have a look at this resource page we put together for creating and playing at home. @CastillejaNews

Cat toys for shelters? Yep. The Bourn Idea Lab has that. Fabricating for a good (p)cause. @petsinneed1965 @CastillejaNews
Mandarin student is constructing a park as part of a unit on city structures. She'll explain her creation in Mandarin on a presentation.
This @CastillejaNews grad (and @BournIdeaLab regular) isn't even out of college yet, and she is already having an impact:
This Y Combinator-backed startup’s UVP is that it is the easiest way to take action on climate change.

Jann Murray-Garcia, MD visited the Biotech/Bioethics class to discuss why race must be included when learning about biotechniques & bioethical discussions. Understanding race as a social construct allows students to better evaluate race-based medicine and genomic research.
Closer look at the woodworking, art, and coding that @CastiAthletics fused into a Fitness class. This balance board rides on a section of PVC pipe.
Fitness students added art and @adafruit cpx microcontrollers to the balance boards they made. They programmed the accelerometer input to reward every few seconds in balance with another LED light. Then, time to test! @CastillejaNews @MSMakeCode
We used buttons to practice w before getting out the conductive thread Friday for our light up wearables project. We also had time to code + run light patterns on the microcontrollers again. Bags and hats are the most popular items for the planned lights so far. @CastillejaNews
Ninth grade Fitness students are taking a break from the gym to fabricate their own balance boards. The miter saw, drills, and router all saw action today. We'll finish the rollers, then add a microcontroller next class. #makered @CastillejaNews
A group of middle school girls just wrapped up two weeks of programming @FiriaLabs CodeBot robots with #Python. What a fun dive into physical computing! @CastillejaNews
The Bourn Idea Lab was proud to contribute laser cut table numbers to the fabulous Fabulous Daughter Dinner Dance!
Middle school girls got @FiriaLabs Code Bots lit up after school today. Great to hear them almost unconsciously murmur, "So cool" as they used a variable in #python to control the timing of light sequences. Well get motors spinning on Wednesday! @CastillejaNews
High schoolers are applying engineering principles to construction of real structures. How much sand will these support? @CastillejaNews
The Lab's pinball arsenal is growing! At the end of our after school session, we began researching play surface elements, and on Monday it will be time to engineer bumpers, ramps, spinners, and circuits. #increasethecrease @CastillejaNews @cardboardteck
