Today in WiEng we joined the ETHS eSports team. I was able to join the club to learn and play too. The coolest part was my Senior Engineering students who are members of eSports taught me. They were so positive and encouraging! @ETHSeSports @NU_ETHS #WildkitEngineering

The pure joy of a finished project!

Intro to Engineering Design Ss produced a full set of working drawings for wooden models. Students learned how to measure precisely with dual calipers & then reproduced the models in @ADSK_Inventor!
