Mr. Prentice Manufacturing & Engineering

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

Wrapping up my 9-week rotation of Intro to Tech class by teaching vinyl cutting. Students use CorelDraw to design & cut stickers for their toolboxes. 🧰 #metalworking #vinylcutting #FabLab #metalshop

Another week finished for Trinity HS's evening classes. Last night, adults signed up to lasercut & engrave card boxes from our #FabLab! #lasercutting @dr_zebrasky @TRINITY_MLUCAS

Another great rotation of Intro to Tech students learning how to layout, shear, bend, & spot weld their own @pitscoed toolbox! 🧰 #sheetmetal #toolbox #metalworking @dr_zebrasky @TRINITY_MLUCAS

Great job to our Trinity Junior, Jacob Wright (pictured middle) for placing 2nd best overall between all of today's challenges 👏👏

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
