GRM students working through the Engineering Design Process as they build birdhouses in the workshop! 🛠️🥽📐 @Chesapeake_CTE @Virginia_CTE

Let's get this party started! @Chesapeake_CTE

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

I love a good brainstorming session!! 🧠⛈️ @GrmPanthers

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

Welcome 6th graders! It's time to explore the Tech Ed classroom! Click the following link to access the scavenger hunt: https://t.co/kZfenMhsBP

Busy working on their birdhouses! 🐦 @GrmPanthers @Chesapeake_CTE

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

I wanted to switch up my typical end-of-unit project for my Technological Systems classes... insert the beloved choice board! I can't wait to see what these creative kiddos come up with🤩 @GrmPanthers @Chesapeake_CTE

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

Beginning of the course SCAVENGER HUNT link! Good luck 😉 https://t.co/3NzebWga6Y

Learning how to use Cut2D, software that can be used to introduce students to 2D machining for CNC routing. This will be such an incredible tool to use when we discuss manufacturing, design, and more! I can't wait to see what my students develop! @Chesapeake_CTE @cpschoolsva

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

I'm so excited to join the Panther family! I can't wait to meet my new colleagues and students! @GrmPanthers @CPSProfDev #CPSBacktoSchool #NewtoCPS2021 #CPSNewbie2021 #CPSNewEducatorInduction

@MrsGilchristVB Ooooooh my goodness!! They are CUTE!! 😍

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

One student even said he was excited about @ECPIUniversity and what his future holds for him! Isn't that what it's all about?😍

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

My @GRHS_Stallions students had an awesome opportunity today! They learned more about engineering and the courses and programs offered by @ECPIUniversity related to engineering. I think it clicked for them that engineering relates to almost every career path!

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

This student used her research and Tik Tok to make a clear, concise video about nuclear engineers! ⚛

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

Here are some student samples from the career choice board... First a foldable, then a Jeopardy style game, and a poem! I love grading these projects. 😀

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

Everyone loves a choice board, right?? I will say, I notice a HUGE difference in participation during a unit when I let my students choose how they will demonstrate their understanding of a concept. I can't wait to share some products of this board with you soon!

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

Remember the technical drawings of the Rubik's Cube I shared last week? Well here are the computer-aided drawings created by the same student!

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

Today we talked about how engineerings can effectively communicate ideas and solutions through technical drawing. Here is a student sample of how an object can be turned into an isometric drawing and an orthographic projection!

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

Here are some cool helmet designs from my Engineering students! Each group was asked to modify a standard helmet to meet the needs of a specific group (people with long hair, bald people, young kids, teens, and commuters). Can you guess which helmet was designed for each group?

[Mrs. Beamer @MrsBeamer_VB]

Thank you @TCE_VBCPS @MrsGilchristVB @ToddTarkenton @Mr_Cosimano @BBerthold42 @leslielehner for the awesome headphones and Munchkins (not pictured because a little red-headed stinker got into them)!! What a GReat surprise! 🎧🍩☺️
