This week in the iNEST maker club, students continued working on their showcase projects to share during our last club meeting of the year coming up on May 2nd. Students were observed working with the new K'Nex control kits, sphero robots, fabricated masks, LittleBits, and soft circuits. It was exciting to see a lot of "motion" in this week's project work with students creating K'nex carnival rides and LittleBits cars, and rolling spheros around the room. It was also nice to see a student who is running for student government creating a soft circuit, light-up button to advertise her student campaign. Check out some of the videos below. Many club members will be attending the Burlington mini-maker faire this coming Saturday on a club-sponsored field trip. We hope everyone will have a fun trip and learn a lot about STEM!
Over the past two weeks in the iNEST maker club, students began working on their "showcase" projects to be shared during our last club meeting this semester, May 2nd. We are excited to have students share their growing expertise in a particular technology specialty area they have taken to this year. Students are preparing 3D designs to print, digitally-embroidered pillows, and K'nex control creations, to name a few (pictured below). We are also excited that many club members have signed up for our spring field trip that is coming up on April 22nd to the Burlington mini-maker faire, enough to take two buses this year! Thanks to Mary Clay and Deborah for organizing the field trip, scheduling buses, and collecting permission forms.
