Today was a busy day for iNEST club members, with some students volunteering to demonstrate their circuitry skills with copper foil tape for peers during a lunch table event designed to recruit new members into the club. Thanks to Mariam for organizing another lunch table activity and giving club members a chance to hone their leadership skills--a goal of the club. Later in the afternoon, students met for our weekly iNEST club meeting. The club meeting began with the usual snack, and Deborah cued up a video showing how one school was using Hummingbird robotics to inspire club members to dive into this technology. Three of the club members who will be helping out with the student showcase at NC-TIES on Friday morning met briefly in the library to make some soft circuit pins for display during the showcase, and to go over LittleBits basics to demonstrate for attendees. Other club members continued working on various projects, including Hummingbird, 3d pens, 3d printing, and digital embroidery as depicted below. Today's Amazon outage impacted the club, as students were unable to log-into TinkerCad to work on 3d designs, but they were able to identify many other project opportunities in the 3D GameLab learning environment.
