The annual Invention Convention is on @wheelerschool. 5th graders are designing solutions to authentic problems in the classrooms and rapid prototyping is underway. Solve it and their products will be permanently installed for all to see! #MakerEd #STEAM #DesignThinking

[Dylan Ryder @DylanMRyder]

8th grade designers testing kitchen gadget variants and dreaming up improved redesigns in The DIB Lab @wheelerschool. Inspired by “Well Equipped” from @epicurious. #DesignThinking #MakerEd #STEAM

The Upper School Robotics Team @wheelerschool is hard at work engineering their custom robot for this year’s remote FTC competition. Wish them luck!

This necklace charm was #MadeWithCode in the DIB Lab @wheelerschool. Programmed in Python and output to a 3D printer by 7th grade. #STEAM #MakerEd #BitsToAtoms

[Dylan Ryder @DylanMRyder]

3rd grade engineers @wheelerschool are crafting state fact quiz boards with paper circuits. Plenty of room for making in Social Studies. #STEAM #MakerEd @chibitronics

[Dylan Ryder @DylanMRyder]

3rd graders @wheelerschool are designing their own state coins for a geography unit. 3D modeling with @tinkercad and printing for a class display. “Silver” filament has real shine! #STEAM #MakerEd

[Dylan Ryder @DylanMRyder]

Resin casting experiments are yielding high-quality results in the @wheelerschool DIB Lab!

Hamilton 8th graders @wheelerschool embroider their innovation project logo in The DIB Lab today. Working towards proposing their own waterproof apparel company! @NoticeAbilityLD #MakerEd

The DIB Lab’s new pen plotter is outputting its first piece of student drawn vector art - from bits to atoms! Thrilled about the possible CompSci & Art connections! @wheelerschool #MakerEd

[Dylan Ryder @DylanMRyder]

Same upgrade, new location. A 2+ in 2020... still better than chewing filament!

[Dylan Ryder @DylanMRyder]

@sleggss Neem oil or BT may help. You can also snap a photo and run it by r/whatisthisbug in case you want more confirmation of your insects... and their kryptonite.

[Dylan Ryder @DylanMRyder]

Ahh. Just found DrawingBots! But please, share your advice if you can.

[Dylan Ryder @DylanMRyder]

So I’d like to help students get into CS and art inspired by #plottertwitter. Can any experts recommend a machine to get us started, or share where and how you acquired your plotter(s)? Thank you!

@joshburker Don’t be fooled folks. That man has no glass in his spectacle frames and is dangerously close to cauterizing his cornea! I am merely expressing my affinity for amateur dentistry. Not pictured, @fpgina SMH-ing at us... but not surprised at our foolishness.
