Mousetrap Vehicles
The Transfer class of first year lab course has completed the boat hull design and are designing the mousetrap vehicle design project. Students are to choose between designing for distance or speed. A special recognition is given to MTVs utilizing recycled materials. Look for student photos later today to get more ideas.
Valley Technology Education Teachers hosted by LHS
Hey, We had a blast! Good eats, good ideas, good fellowship. I know I learned form my colleagues and shared what I did with those select folks that made the journey to Luray High. Next month we are having our meeting at Thomas Harrison Middle School to see their STEM academy. Mr Stansberry and Mr. Corder are going to wow us with their setup. In November Mr. Magnone will have Billy Batkins from Highland Springs High teach us a full day workshop on flight. the host is East Rockingham High and it is a November the 9th a Saturday.
Scott Schlosser had our complete attention with his wood turning techniques and using super glue as a finish!
Good things are happening in the Valley!

the sample files including a comb, shark pendant, nut and bolt. I can't wait to get my drafting students drawing solids to print out on this new high tech piece of equipment. The only filament we have came with the machine and it is natural. I hope to find the $39 to buy a red or purple spool.
Since Taylor was so good to help me during her Physics work (she was ahead of the others in class), we are naming the printer "Taylor." To get all of the power, network, etc cords in place on the tables we rearranged the scanner and printer to allow the 3D printer cable to reach the hard drive.

A good beginning to a school day.
Officer Good and Mr. Vickers has the back 40 acres under surveillance. All is well with the world!
It is a beautiful fall morning temperature wise, management wise, student interest wise. What more could we want?
