Here is Mr. Fortais' Production class putting together their American flags. This is a great manufacturing project where the students perform various jobs producing a final product. From tool use, safety to final finish, these students did a great job. Well done everyone

Here we see students in Mr. Fortais' Partners in Technology class. With help from their aides and partners, students built a Zip Line Racer powered by a rubber band and a propeller. Races are next week. Nice job everyone!!

The final Micron mini house models in Mr. Fortais' Production class. Great job on a project that took five weeks to complete. Super dedication and hard work on behalf of the students. Nice job!! Now on to basic electricity!!!

Here is Mr. Fortais' Production class. The students learned about the different parts of framing construction. Then they designed a Micron mini house for the workers that will build the factory. Now they are building the framing in a scale model. Great job class!

Busy week here at Baker H.S. Technology classes. Here we have Mr. Cuyler's Computer Integrated Manufacturing class (CIM). This is a great example of project based learning that is student driven. Each student picked their own design to cut out on the laser. Great job folks!

Great start to the year! Here we see Baker HS Partners in Science/Technology students and their helpers. What a great experience, these students built a cardboard bank. Great Job people. We also see Mr. Hudson's Drone 2 class with the new vinyl signs in their class. Nice job!

This cannon replica is a great project from a group of students from all different tech classes. This is the culmination of five weeks of work to help support the annual fourth grade colonial days! Nice job everyone! Thanks to Mr. Hudson, Mr. Cuyler, Mr. Malecki and Mr. Fortais.

Here are some great choice activities students made in Mr. Malecki's Materials class. This was their last project of the semester. As you can tell there is a lot of talent here at Baker High School. Great job folks!

Architectural Drawing in Mr. Fortais' class! This is the final project where students design then build a 1/4" scale model of their house. Students choose from a beach house, residential house or a hunter's cabin. This is a five week project for the students. Nice job girls!

Today the Baker Technology Department was honored with a visit from Senator Rachel May from the 48th District along with Dr. DeBarbieri and several members of the BCSD board. They visited classrooms and were able to experience first hand students projects. Thanks Senator May!

Baker Tech students using industry software applications. Here are students from Mr. Fortais' Media Production class using Adobe Premiere Pro 2024. This is a professional level software that the students us to make Music Videos, Movie Trailers and other projects. Fantastic job!

Here are students in Mr. Fortais' Architectural Drawing Class using Chief Architect Premier to design and draw up a kitchen and bathroom. This is part of their final project where students design their own house then build a scale model of the design. Nice job folks!

Great examples of student's projects in Mr. Malecki's Materials Processing class. Here we see Maria and Cassie putting the final finishing coats on their hand made cutting boards. Nice job!

Mr. Hudson's POE (Principles of Engineering) students went to Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC). While there, students were shown different careers, participated in a STEM activity, witnessed a drone demonstration, talked with engineers and toured the facility. Thanks SRC!

Lots of projects going on in Baker Technology! Aiden and Bryson are busy making silkscreen t-shirts in Mr. Fortais' Communication Systems class. Nice job!

More great projects at C. W. Baker Technology! Here we see Colden German and Camren Decicco working on and testing their robots with other students in Mr. Hudson's Robotics class. Great job people!

More great projects at C. W. Baker Technology Classes! Here students are building and finishing some laser cut out wall sconces in Mr. Cuyler's CIM class.

@historyinmemes This specific helmet was purchased by the ROM in 1926 from T. Sutton of 2 Albemarle St., London, England,  via Sotheby's (auction of 22 July 1926, lot 160). A skull was said at one stage to be inside it, and in this condition was excavated. Very cool when seen up close!

Corinthian helmet found with the soldier's skull still inside from the Battle of Marathon which took place in 490 BC during the first Persian invasion of Greece. 2,500 years ago, on the morning of September 12th, 10,000 Greek soldiers gathered on the plains of Marathon to fight the invading Persian army. The Greek soldiers were composed mostly of citizens from Athens as well as some reinforcements from Plataea. The Persian army had 25,000 infantrymen and 1,000 cavalry. According to legend, a long-distance messenger by the name of Phidippides was sent to Athens shortly after the battle to relay the news of victory. It has been said that he ran the entire distance from Marathon to Athens, a distance of approximately 40 kilometers (25 mi), without stopping and burst into the assembly to declare, "We have won!" before collapsing and dying. This story differs quite a bit from Herodotus' account, which mentions Phidippides as the messenger who ran from Athens to Sparta and then back, covering a total distance of 240 km (150 mi) each way.

@PLTWorg @CuylerJames Pics from last nights PLTW EDD capstone projects. Thanks to all those who attended and evaluated projects of these future engineers. Nice job!
