After trying our new "Adv. Digital Fab" course last year, I wanted to add new content to my curriculum I wrote in 2021. It's now available on our school website to share w/ the #FabLab network!! trinitypride.org/innovation #FabLabNetwork @TRINITY_MLUCAS @PADeptofEd @fablab @FabLabHub

Had an awesome time bringing a few of our Trinity Ag students to @MrLeasure's classroom to practice their NOCTI exams, alongside his Mcguffey FFA students. #FFA @ffa_trinity #AgMech @hartleyfarm_51 #Agriculture @TRINITY_MLUCAS @dr_zebrasky

Teaching Trinity's adult evening class how to design & CNC plasma cut wall decorations out of metal plates. #MadeWithTormach #plasmacutter #plasmacutting #metal #CNC #Tormach @TRINITY_MLUCAS

Our Trinity #BotsIQ team participating in the annual pre-lim competition at WCCC today! #battlebots #manufacturing @BotsIQSWPA @TRINITY_MLUCAS @dr_zebrasky

Another evening course for the community at Trinity High School. Teaching adults how to V-carve designs into wood using our CNC mill @ShopBotTools. #FabLab #shopbot @TRINITY_MLUCAS

Attending Trinity's Occupational Advisory Committee for all of our CTE programs! We brought local businesses/industries to help us bring new ideas into our classrooms & curriculum. #Manufacturing #CTE #BotsIQ @TRINITY_MLUCAS @dr_zebrasky

Pushing the limits of our #Tormach CNC plasma cutter by cutting 3/8" thick titanium. Ms. Fleming's Battlebots team drew up this weapon mount design that they will cleanup for fitment. #MadeWithTormach #plasmacutting #plasma #Battlebots #Manufacturing #titanium @TRINITY_MLUCAS

Instructing another evening course for the community at @TrinityAreaSD! Adults signed up to design & #lasercut our popular LED display project from our #FabLab. #CTETHSAdultClasses @dr_zebrasky #kitronik @TRINITY_MLUCAS @Kitronik

My Intro to Ag Mech students finished up welding together horseshoes & rebar to make unique projects! 👏 #ag #teachag #ffa #metalworking #manufacturing #fabrication #welding @TRINITY_MLUCAS @dr_zebrasky

This week, my Metalworking class finished up their 1st forging project of a plant hanger 🙌 ..Made from 3/8" square bar #Metal #Metalworking #forging #blacksmithing #forge #manufacturing @TRINITY_MLUCAS @dr_zebrasky

Having my Adv. Metalworking students design, CNC plasma-cut, & thread their own "Boot Puller" this week. #MadeWithTormach #Tormach #metalworking #plasmacutting #metal #manufacturing #plasmacutter @TRINITY_MLUCAS

@CrystalEBentley Come visit our foundry/metalshop at Trinity High School! About 30 minutes outside of Pitt

Traveling to the Pittsburgh area for a VR tour at a foundry. Currently in the ATL airport. Still my favorite ‘cause of the light jazz. Attendants calling turbulence “rough air” is very, very annoying.

Students in my Intro to Ag Mech class continue to learn welding skills this month by creating custom scultpures from horseshoes & rebar. @dr_zebrasky @TRINITY_MLUCAS #welding #Metalworking #FFA #AgMech #agriculture #horseshoe

My new #Metalworking class starting up their 1st forging project to learn all the basics of #blacksmithing / hot metal work. #metalshop #forging #forge #metal #manufacturing #blacksmith @TRINITY_MLUCAS @dr_zebrasky

My new rotation of Intro to Tech students are learning the fundamentals of sheet metal fabrication by laying out, shearing, & bending their own phone stands. #manufacturing #metalshop #sheetmetal @TRINITY_MLUCAS

Super proud of these x4 students for competing in Trinity's annual CTE Olympics, and for being our 1st pilot group of CTE students who are driven to pursue future careers in #Manufacturing Engineering. @dr_zebrasky @TRINITY_MLUCAS

My TV Production students got to collaborate with Mr. Teeple's Virtual Business class to help his groups film/edit commercials of their mock brands they wanted to practice marketing with👏

For these last x2 weeks of Metalworking class, Trinity students learn skills in using Oxygen/Acetylene tanks for brazing metal. #metalworking #brazing @TRINITY_MLUCAS @dr_zebrasky

Field trip day for our engineering & robotics classes! Visiting IGS Industries' business in custom part manufacturing, who also donates to Trinity's @BotsIQSWPA team. Learning about how they operate powerful lasercutters, CNC mills, & other industrial machines. @TRINITY_MLUCAS

Great job to my Adv. Metalworking Senior; Mason for designing & fabricating hangers for both our jackets & hoods in our new welding booths! 👏👏👏 #welding #brazing #metalworking #metalshop #metal #manufacturing @TRINITY_MLUCAS
