Thirty students attended this week's club meeting. The final five coaster projects were scored, and the three winning teams were announced with prizes distributed. Students were reminded to submit their documentation of the coaster project in 3D GameLab, and once they had completed that step, they moved on to the next project--fabricating paper masks. Students started this quest in GameLab, where they found instructions on how to prepare and construct their masks, and they read about the related STEM career of fabrication and robotics tools for folding metals. Students were able to choose from four half-mask designs--fox, wolf, bear, or bird. Most students were able to start their cutting/pasting today, but the actual constructing of masks will start in earnest during the next club meeting on April 12th. Enough templates are available for each student to make each mask. At the end of the club meeting, Mrs. Vick distributed permission forms for the first club field trip to the Burlington mini-maker faire, and a sample working makerspace at Elon University, on Saturday, April 23rd. The two activity buses will allow up to 24 students to participate, and the first 24 students who return their permission forms will be able to participate. The club is taking a one-week break, since the three school mentors will be at a conference on April 5th; next meeting April 12th.
