After trying our new "Adv. Digital Fab" course last year, I wanted to add new content to my curriculum I wrote in 2021. It's now available on our school website to share w/ the #FabLab network!! trinitypride.org/innovation #FabLabNetwork @TRINITY_MLUCAS @PADeptofEd @fablab @FabLabHub – at Washington, PA

Strong. Scrappy. Storied. Two Pittsburgh originals are coming together in a new way. The U. S. Steel logo is coming to @penguins helmets beginning with the 2026-27 season. It just fits.
