Your welcome. Everyday doing this is a joy. All of these things are very true... especially among CTE focusing students.
Finished up the custom resin #3dprinter cabinet for my engineering/design classroom. I made the cabinet, doors and such from scratch in the Woodshop and it incorporates numerous #3dprinted parts that were designed by students in #Inventor and #Fusion.
Last day of summer break! spent some time in the Woodshop today to get cracking on the cabinet for my large format resin printer and print cleaning machine. I upped the width a bit so that I can fit and Ender-sized printer in there for abs printing. it's 48"x30"x30". #3Dprinting
Hey, that's me! 🤣 Thanks @gcampmfg for helping bring some amazing tech and learning into our #robotics classroom!
This past January, @jonweger, a Hampshire High School teacher, tweeted, "It’s going to be a fun semester thanks to GCAMP and their generous grant!”

@CUSD300 @AnninRobotics
Over 40 @Certiport #AutodeskCertifiedUser credentials earned by students this semester. Very proud of my students and looking forward to seeing how well they all do with Fusion360 next year as we start @PLTWorg!
Ah, a senior prank which didn't involve releasing gerbils into a restroom. Geoff apparently also used AutoCAD to create his message as well. Double win.

It's #WeldingWednesday, so let's talk about how Elgin Sweeper is supporting the next generation of Welders. Last summer local high school students spent some time at our facility learning and improving their welding skills. We continue to encourage future welders. #TradesMatter
Helped to choose out new #3dprinters for our district to replace Ender3V2s. Went with the Ender3 V3 KE and currently torture testing it. Look at the nice print in ABS..not bad at all. It was nice of the previous teacher to make an ABS enclosure too. @Creality3dprint
Had an opportunity to attend a field trip with some of our amazing #welding students yesterday at @elginsweeper. Students got to check out all aspects of the manufacturing process, gain more insight into welding careers, and connect classroom learning. @D300CTE @KaneSystem
So, next year will certainly be eventful!
-start @PLTWorg IED course
-start teaching 3 #DualCredit courses through @ElginCommColl
-Teach #Robotics I and II stacked
-Teach Small Engines for the first time
Five preps.....going to be a fun one! Looking forward to it!
All right! It looked pretty cool and since we have no leaves on trees yet it was a nice way to show off the effect. Great time hanging out with a couple of classes today using some devices students made in CAD and Engineering classes.

Robotics classroom wall is looking good! Just need to design some kind of donor thank you to include on the wall. Trying to figure eliminate the boring walls.
Practice flights in the cold rain at HHS this afternoon for @RocketContest! Our Aerospace Club ARC Team were entertained by their teacher wading into the swamp to retrieve the rocket from the tree. The things we do! They had fun at least! Eh, so did I! @NARRockets #rocketry
Another 3+ hours of HHS Aerospace Club rocket flying this weekend. Students have things pretty well dialed in now. Just need to make a few more tweaks. @RocketContest Thanks for hosting us #FoxValleyRocketeers! @NARRockets
