#MotivatedLearners update: the D&D character has come to life! One of our first successful 3D prints using @HATCHBOX3D wood filament! @k12albemarle @BurleyBears @instructables @k12maker

6th graders are FLYING with @tinkercad ! This semester's assignment was an earbud buddy from @k12maker @instructables but one of our students recreated her custom D&D character in 3D & emailed the teacher a question about it ON A SATURDAY. #MotivatedLearners @k12albemarle

Loved this end of year celebration! Student captains drafted teachers for a game, every player gave it their all! #bmsbuilds https://t.co/jilNg75qsu

Brushing up on my digital illustration skills for next year in #adobeillustrator using the lovely dustinwest25 from @k12albemarlelab as inspiration! https://t.co/MIyjxkF8AZ

Laser cut products are popping up everywhere! Generating lots of good ideas this summer vacation! 💡 https://t.co/Z0GtEcuDy3

Teachers go to school too! Rapid prototyping of projects got @k12albemarle teachers excited for the upcoming school year at #CAI2019 https://t.co/aBDUoFvSIU

Students good nature and personalities really shine when you give them choice in displaying their learning. Another end of term student choice project success! https://t.co/iGvNVbmiYb

#SchoolsNEXT students on their victory tour. Presenting their award winning 🥇 school of the future design to Hollymead Elementary students during their #EarthDay fair! https://t.co/0hb7enPbsa

Some really *choice* student choice projects at the end of the year. Adobe Illustrator superstars pictures here created these masterpieces from scratch! https://t.co/FUpZQtXDOP

There are many things I love about my "job" but seeing 'School is fun!' enthusiastically scribbled on a student’s CAD design just about takes the cake. #DoWhatYouLove @k12albemarle @BurleyBears #Tinkercad #makerEd #FutureReady #SchoolisFun

Do your students have #SOL (StandardizedTesting) brain? Give ‘em a low-risk, high-reward design challenge like building a paper table to help grease the gears and wake them up! There were zero student complaints even after their 3 hours of testing! @BurleyBears @k12albemarle

Some traditional #engineering projects are still a blast! What kid doesn't want a slow-mo video of the bridge they spent weeks building being destroyed?! Thanks @VaDOT for getting us started with our #BridgeBuilding project. @BurleyBears @k12albemarle

[𝔹𝕦𝕣𝕝𝕖𝕪 𝕄𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕣 𝔻𝕖𝕟 @BurleyMakerDen]

Bridges are almost ready to be DESTROYED *ahem* I mean TESTED. Something wonderful about building such an intricate & delicate thing in order to SMASH it -I mean- find it's strength-to-weight ratio. 🤗 Great work 8th grade! @BurleyBears @k12albemarle #engineering @VaDOT #bridges

It’s the final countdown! Preparing the finishing touches for our SchoolsNEXT @A4LE2 model. Can’t wait to present this beauty! @BurleyBears @k12albemarle @imcraddock

[𝔹𝕦𝕣𝕝𝕖𝕪 𝕄𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕣 𝔻𝕖𝕟 @BurleyMakerDen]

Some of our students with different needs don't always have time to experience the makerspace. Luckily they have an awesome support staff who go out of their way to create opportunities. There were squeals of delight when the laser cutter turned on! @BurleyBears @k12albemarle

Happy Valentine's Day! Here is some extreme feather decorating done to laser cut hearts. Yes, those are hearts under all that fabulousness. One for #DrWho and one for a lucky dad! Love to all! #lasercut #valentinesday #middleschool #makerspace #MakerEd @BurleyBears @bbcdoctorwho
