Happy Thanksgiving @LCPSCafe!!!
Great meal to get me through a long school day and afternoon/evening practice.

New school lunch menu option @LCPSCafe is a hit! Lomo Saltado - marinated beef with seasoned french fries & rice. Peruvian dish with a side of Mexican Street Corn. Must try! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My secret fear is that I come to #CMK24 and cosplay a constructivist learner at summer camp and then don’t deliver that experience to my school community during the year…

And a cool car at dinner.

Full week of robotics summer camp and then a 6 hour rush of cleaning and maintenance. (The storage rooms are a disaster & need a deep clean.) Let the 3.5 weeks of summer begin! #makerspace

@GothamKnowledge We have 16 of the new XRP robots for summer camp, workshops, outreach but the lifter arm is not holding up. Glue may be the answer but was thinking a metal heat insert that fit over the servo would be very solid.

[DesignMakeTeach @DesignMakeTeach]

Hey #3Dprinting #robotics folks. Is there a servo adapter heat insert? I want to quickly attach a variety of 3D printed parts to a servo and have a robust attachment to small scale robot able to survive collisions. #makerspace

[DesignMakeTeach @DesignMakeTeach]

@GothamKnowledge The first one. Factory supplied horn to part is too wiggly.

Robotics summer camp! ACL RoboLoCo members guiding middle schoolers through a week long exploration of all the roles on a #FIRST Robotics Competition team. 2:1 ratio means every camper had quality time w/ a high school mentor to talk about robotics, #STEM & #morethanrobots

[DesignMakeTeach @DesignMakeTeach]

Quite a bit of tinkering has gone into helping teacher build this wind tube in #makerspace Experience design for field day exploration & #STEM outreach.

[DesignMakeTeach @DesignMakeTeach]

I’m going to the final Constructing Modern Knowledge this summer! Such a valuable learning experience & community that I’m paying out of pocket to attend. Every educator should have this experience!!!

Replacement stand for @surebonder hot glue gun #3Dprinted on @BambulabGlobal X1C. Stands often go missing when glue guns are loaned out. PLA/ABS failed but PLA-CF appears to be upgrade as it is stiffer and more stable than original part

Happy Mental Health May! Writing words of affirmation & positive messages on rocks in the #makerspace

Using @formlabs resin 3D printer to create functional ergonomic keyboard prototype for entrepreneurship pitch. Designed in @tinkercad, initial iteration printed on FDM printer #makerspace #makerspacelife

[DesignMakeTeach @DesignMakeTeach]

Getting nerdy in the #makerspace. New software for school scanning electron microscope outputs height map & heat map. Printed height-map on UV printer w/10 gloss layers & then color heat map on top. Textured print 0.015” tall so you can feel surface. #MakerspaceLife

[DesignMakeTeach @DesignMakeTeach]

Spent way too much time creating custom scale wall textures for culinary class to use for restaurant design project. Also iterating different keycaps on resin printer for entrepreneurship group developing an ergonomic keyboard. Busy day. #makerspace #MakerspaceLife

[DesignMakeTeach @DesignMakeTeach]

Designed a sticker sheet for participants of the FLL Explore Faire hosted by ACL RoboLoCo at the Academies of Loudoun today. #makerspace #MakerspaceLife

Production mode engaged on earth science manipulative. Using digital fabrication to turn a class long paper craft into a quick hands-on exploration. #3dprinter #vinylcutter #makerspace #makerspacelife
