@ianmct Thanks Ian. Someday I promise I won’t spend all my time with you trying to download your brain into my own. I’ve wanted that z-check utility for a long time.

Spent the day getting trained on CNC manufacturing, awesome to be a learner. My friend asked me if I could create a program where you could upload your #gcode and then get the lowest height. z-check.ianmct.repl.co Mission accomplished. #cnc #cam

OCTE/CTMA CNC Training is in Orillia this week with a focus on using Fusion CAD/CAM software to design projects and create CNC code. @Studica has officially joined the CTMA, and Derek Murphy was presented with the CTMA membership plaque! #CNCTraining #TakeTech #Coding #STEM

Robotics class is getting off to a shocking start. Great job TEJ3M/4M @IEWeldonSS @IEWeldonTech @TLDSB

Another great final project for the grade 12 robotics class. Well done! Arduino+Wii Nunchuck+3D printer+OnShape @IEWeldonSS @IEWeldonTech

Watch for our new program - Future Forward, part of the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network’s regional workforce program designed to introduce elementary and high school students to the promising career opportunities in the automotive and mobility sector. #taketech #skilledtrades

Check it out! Reverse Job Fair @IEWeldonSS May 11th! Employers will meet students and ask about their skills while students showcase their portfolios and work samples. Perfect for those seeking summer or full-time employment, co-op placements, or mentorship opportunities!

@IEWeldonSS And Weldon Wild WYRE is in the finals!

Congrats to the Weldon robotics team for all the time and effort this weekend! You did a great job representing IEWSS and The City of Kawartha Lakes at Georgian College!

@IEWeldonSS Getting set for the semi’s. Go Wild WYRE!

@MrMontanari89 Good luck from team 8731 Wild WYRE at the FIRST event at Georgian College, Barrie.

It’s Saturday morning and we are here at the FIRST Robotics in Newmarket.

Here are some TLDSB and Weldon teachers brushing up on welding skills and best instructional practice for their students. Great work everyone!

@lhopeconsulting @OODMag @ofah Larry, you need to get that guy his own Twitter account.

Our crappie summer continues… Great to have our fishing pal out with us the last couple of nights. Plenty of these guys for the next fish fry in spite of unsettled weather and nasty winds! @OODMag @ofah

Awesome work in ICS4C. Arduino, Wii, and unity. Great work T.D. @IEWeldonSS @IEWeldonTech

Congrats to Caleb Dyck who won the Board Level Skills Ontario competition hosted at FFSS. Go Wildcats!!

Big shout out to the IE Weldon robotics team competing at the provincial championships this weekend. Go Wild WYRE!! @TLDSB @IEWeldonSS @IEWeldonTech
