Codemandos

Received this @Tormach cnc lathe from a @CaterpillarInc engineering grant to help grow our @PLTWorg program. Students helped get it set up on their day off from school. Ready to start semester two and learn a new machine! @SumnerCountyCTE

You know camp is close when the shirts arrive! Thank you @CraddockInc for being our primary sponsor!

Headed to the 2024 TN STEM Innovation Summit? Check out our session: GRASPING INNOVATION TOGETHER. We will be discussing ways we provide Hands-On STEM opportunities for students in Sumner County. #TNSTEM #Summit2024 @SumnerCountyCTE #SumnerSTEM #SumnerAcieves @codemandos

Sumner County well represented at the Middle TN STEM Expo. Impressive as always! Awards are at noon! #SumnerAchieves #SumnerSTEM @SumnerCountyCTE @skinner_frankie @scottlangford72 @codemandos

Special surprise from Craddock Electrical donating a new 3D printer to our robotics and engineering program! What a great Christmas gift!

@PortlandCte @SumnerCountyCTE @PrincipalofPHS Lord of the Rings fire pit looks awesome!

PHS Welding classes have been busy finishing projects for customers! CTE courses provide experiences that translate to job skills!

Putting some work in over break.

A few CNC parts we have made together as a class. Time to turn the students loose. @SumnerCountyCTE @HHSCommandoCTE

Codemandos at the first league night tonight at WHHS. Fresh Men taking the top spot for the night! Great job by all our teams.

One of our Codemandos took 1st place in his Honors Ag Science Rube Goldberg competition. Great job Matt!

A few of our radios at school have broken parts. My senior project, Noah, reverse engineered the broken piece from only 1 half of it and some online pictures. 2nd iteration fit awesome. A couple of changes for the final. Amazing student!

New Bambu eats filament for lunch. We needed an organization station. Scrap wood put to use and filament organized.

Putting in the work on a Saturday. Getting things wrapped up to start cutting our robot!

Codemandos are looking for sponsors for the 23-24 season. We have 4 awesome teams competing this year. Let me know if you can help.

Big day today. We are able to run gears on our cnc machine. A few things to tweak, but happy with the results. BEST robotics kickoff is next weekend!

We participated in the Wilson County Fair Robotics challenge today. We walked away with a lot of hardware. It was a good day for @ellis_school Hawkins and @hhscommandos robotics teams! Thanks @TVAnews Middle TN electric!

Ss made Whack a Mole in Principles of Engineering the past two days. @SumnerCountyCTE @HHSCommandoCTE @VEXRobotics @PLTWorg

Engineering students used their skills to help complete new furniture for the teacher lounge. Some of the pieces were missing/damaged and they were able to problem solve to make everything work.

Just got the news that @PortlandEastMS in partnership with Ellis Middle (@codemandos) will be hosting the Vex IQ state robotics competition for Tennessee next March. This is an exciting time in Sumner County. @STEMulateEdu @sumnerstem @SumnerCountyCTE @scottlangford72

We had a great week of camp. Over 90 students participated and we can’t wait to grow our elementary school presence for VEX IQ robotics this year. See you in August.
