Last night was our annual design Expo! Everything was on Zoom, and the work of our students (many fully virtual all year) just blew us away!

So here's a thread with some highlights...

[Katie Marchionna @kt_macaroni]

..and the finished physical product! Not pictured: some BEAUTIFULLY detailed mountains painted on the side of the box.

So proud of these kids and their work this year!

[Katie Marchionna @kt_macaroni]

Engineering Design (@PLTW IED) students blew us away with their Automata designs. Many of these kiddos have been fully virtual all year! They designed the automaton in Onshape, then IRL from a materials kit.

Some highlights... (🧵)
