Well,
I guess it was inevitable to have a snow day at some point. The
positive is we only have to make up one day instead of two thanks to

Stay safe and warm while enjoying the snow!

8th- Design and Modeling Engineers
Description: Our
Design and Modeling classroom learns the
specifics of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional designs. Students use
their learned knowledge to take 2-dimensional designs and create them in
3D using computer software. This class would like to take the next step
in the design process by taking the 3D computer-generated
design and constructing a 3D physical model utilizing the 3D pen. The
3D Pen is an engaging educational tool that allows the user to create
real 3-dimensional objects; a pen that puts the power of a 3D printer in
the palm of each student.
Thank you to the generous donors thus far!
