Mr. Nicholson’s Introduction to #Engineering Design students design/build prototypes for a 21st century coffee cup at #NewtownHS. Group members came up with ideas, then used a design matrix to determine the best one. I love the cluttered table tops; signs of enthusiasm. @PLTWorg

#NewtownHS #IntroductiontoEngineering students had two days to design the perfect cable car...possible? Yes! Failures? Yes! Who says you can’t be happy with failure. Failure is the best teacher. Back to the drawing board guys.

#NewtownHS is losing an awesome teacher and many of us are losing a friend. We will miss you Marty! Your sarcasm, your insight, your ties. Thanks for making my time here at NHS memorable. A new adventure awaits!
