Leesa designed a cool Jewelry box but wanted a hidden hinge for the top.

Doing this without the cover jamming while it swings is more complex than you'd think, but she did it!

Comp Sci student Lorand recording his original song Over and Again.

What will you make?

Attention NON-CODERS!!!

Coming this fall, workshops for coding for non-coders.

Come learn the very basics behind robotics!

Dave designed a part to replace a part that was keeping a pressure washer from working. You can't buy the part, so the alternative is to scrap a pressure washer where everything else works fine!

Coding Challenge!

Make a digital Dudley Lock (2 right, then select #, 1 left then select #, then right to final number) using an Arduino microprocessor, an LCD display, a push button and a rotary encoder.

Can you code this?

Dave came in and assembled his 2 stage planetary reduction gearbox. This was one of his first projects after his Tombstone SOLIDWORKS lesson.

Impressive!

Julia completed her tombstone CAD basics project and decided to put it to good use.

[Laurier Science Maker Lab @LaurierMakerLab]

Julia's watershed teaching tool making the rounds... Developed in the SML, being displayed in Calgary!

[Laurier Science Maker Lab @LaurierMakerLab]

3D printers working overtime these days!

Parts for an educational toy, horns and a helmet for holding brain wave sensors.

[Laurier Science Maker Lab @LaurierMakerLab]

Dave did the intro SOLIDWORKS lesson and then decided to continue on to something a little more challenging.
