It was a bold step, one taken to introduce technology (computers) … Continue reading >>> CNC and STEM (STEAM) Education: 1
Whether it is woodworking or robotics, one of the challenges of teaching in a public high school is that the bell rings for the next class just as the students/teachers have really settled into their projects. So it was a privilege to have 3 students from Kelvin Hasch’s woodworking program at Greely High School … Continue reading >>> A Day Without “Bells” Paris’s first Maker Faire took place in late June at the Centquatre Center. ShopBot had a presence there, thanks to Sallye from ShopBot putting a Handibot in a suitcase and flying it over for the event and leFabShop from San Malo bringing their Desktop. LeFabShop has a variety of digital fab tools and classes … Continue reading >>> Digital Fab at the Maker Faire, Paris My name is Lexus Pickett, and I’m Weston Mohawk, and we are with the Renaissance Academy Woodworkers. We are both juniors in high school that are interested in computer aided manufacturing. We have now started a new project, learning how to use pocketing and profiling. As a class we have begun a project using a … Continue reading >>> Adventures Of A High School CAM Class: Episode 3 My name is Lexus Pickett, and I’m Weston Mohawk, and we are with the Renaissance Academy Woodworkers.

Here at the Renaissance Academy in River Falls, WI we have been currently working … Continue reading >>> Adventures Of A High School CAM Class: Episode 1 This week, I’m getting ready for a number of upcoming STEM-related conferences and festivals. I’ll be taking both a Desktop and a Handibot, and want to have attendees get the thrill of running a ShopBot. I use what I call the “3 min demo” that lets someone design a sign in CAD software, prepare it … Continue reading >>> Creating a Jig for the ShopBot Handibot Bill Young brought in this sign, made from acrylic that has been V-Carved, plywood that has been pocketed and cut out, and a peg that was 3D printed. At the bottom of the sign is a strip of LEDs, their changing colors programmed with an Arduino. While it is a simple enough project, it contains … Continue reading >>> What can you teach from making a sign? |
