Your welcome. Everyday doing this is a joy. All of these things are very true... especially among CTE focusing students.

@JonSalaban Thanks Jon! It's attached to a Funex unit on the other side of the room. It works great! Not the least expensive solution but works great for spaces where exterior ventilation isn't an option.

@jonweger I applaud your craftsmanship! Great idea! Where do you have it venting to?

Finished up the custom resin #3dprinter cabinet for my engineering/design classroom. I made the cabinet, doors and such from scratch in the Woodshop and it incorporates numerous #3dprinted parts that were designed by students in #Inventor and #Fusion.

The @Phrozen3D Sonic Mega 8KS looks nice in its new home!

Last day of summer break! spent some time in the Woodshop today to get cracking on the cabinet for my large format resin printer and print cleaning machine. I upped the width a bit so that I can fit and Ender-sized printer in there for abs printing. it's 48"x30"x30". #3Dprinting

@dailystem @PLTWorg Finishing up today too. Nice job!

Final assembly of Automata challenge today in my #PLTW training…can you guess what the theme is?

Hey, that's me! 🤣 Thanks @gcampmfg for helping bring some amazing tech and learning into our #robotics classroom!

@MrDuensing_lhs @VEXRobotics Dang Scott, I just requested mine last week! Awesome!

Our @VEXRobotics competition arena is ready for the 24-25 season! #WeAreLemont #vex #robotics

@Phrozen3D Sonic Mega 8ks first impression....gah damn it's huge! Nice print so far, who needs a calibration print...or to level the build plate?!? Right out of the box it's ready to work!

Over 40 @Certiport #AutodeskCertifiedUser credentials earned by students this semester. Very proud of my students and looking forward to seeing how well they all do with Fusion360 next year as we start @PLTWorg!

Ah, a senior prank which didn't involve releasing gerbils into a restroom. Geoff apparently also used AutoCAD to create his message as well. Double win.

It's #WeldingWednesday, so let's talk about how Elgin Sweeper is supporting the next generation of Welders. Last summer local high school students spent some time at our facility learning and improving their welding skills. We continue to encourage future welders. #TradesMatter

Helped to choose out new #3dprinters for our district to replace Ender3V2s. Went with the Ender3 V3 KE and currently torture testing it. Look at the nice print in ABS..not bad at all. It was nice of the previous teacher to make an ABS enclosure too. @Creality3dprint

Had an opportunity to attend a field trip with some of our amazing #welding students yesterday at @elginsweeper. Students got to check out all aspects of the manufacturing process, gain more insight into welding careers, and connect classroom learning. @D300CTE @KaneSystem

Clearly the dog and cat won't let it go that easily...

You might be a #CTE teacher if your planning time involves a run to the hardware store for PVC pipe and synthetic grass.

So, next year will certainly be eventful! -start @PLTWorg IED course -start teaching 3 #DualCredit courses through @ElginCommColl -Teach #Robotics I and II stacked -Teach Small Engines for the first time Five preps.....going to be a fun one! Looking forward to it!

@porterpltw1 Just put it in your back pocket for next time. We've only got 20 years to go. Ha ha.

@jonweger Cool idea Jon.

Doesn't look too exciting yet. In a few hours it will make for great and safe photo ops!

The best part was spending an entire period sharing a cool experience with students and just talking to them OUTSIDE of the classroom. I learned a lot today too!

All right! It looked pretty cool and since we have no leaves on trees yet it was a nice way to show off the effect. Great time hanging out with a couple of classes today using some devices students made in CAD and Engineering classes.
