6th grade students have been learning an engineering fundamental "Measurement". Looking at measurement from a maker mind set it is imperative that students are able to read measurements in both English and Metric to create or design anything.
7th grade students are working on two main topics this week. Shop safety and creating their passive amplification box in Autodesk Inventor. I have created a series of YouTube videos to help students gain a better understanding of the 3D modeling software that utilize. For the basic passive amplification/speaker box students have access to step by step video instructions for the project. After they have mastered the video instructions they are able to modify and change the design to fit their own phone and have a unique one of a kind design.
8th graders presented their aerospace research this week and started on our first flight and space unit build. I really enjoyed seeing the research into all the different types of aircraft that have shaped our modern world and now students are getting to learn through a hands on project about hot air balloons and why they fly without any motors.
