High School computing foundations class building, wiring, and programming a working 3-story elevator model.

7th grade students used the design process to plan, design, 3D model, and 3D print their own marble maze. Students then tested, timed, and graphed each other doing the marble mazes. #EHRoyalPride

I am excited to have some new 3D printers for my classroom this school year. Can't wait to see what my students are able to create with them. Here are some things that I have 3D printed for my classroom with them so far.

7th Graders raced their CO2 dragsters last week. #EHRoyalPride

7th Graders went through the design process to design new school desks. Do you have a favorite? #EHRoyalPride

8th graders have been learning about automation by building, wiring, and programming robotics tasks lately. #EHRoyalPride

7th Graders designed and 3D printed keychains to take home. Do you have a favorite? #EHRoyalPride

[Mr. Paxton (EH Tech) @mrpaxtontech]

One of my favorite student projects, and possibly the last time I'm able to do it. Students designed pull toys that use mechanical gears to transfer energy from the spinning wheels to make two parts of the toy move. #EHRoyalPride

7th Graders have been designing keychains that we will hopefully 3D print soon. They have also been learning about how to assemble with our 3D Computer Modeling software this week with their Pegboard Toy designs. #EHRoyalPride

6th graders built Air Racers this week. Today, they got to do some practice runs before the upcoming tournament. #EHRoyalPride

[Mr. Paxton (EH Tech) @mrpaxtontech]

8th grade gateway classes were introduced to our robotics fischertechniks this week. They practiced being able to communicate clear specific instructions to each other to build an object without looking. Can't skip steps or assume understanding in robotics. #EHRoyalPride

Rube Goldberg 2025

[Mr. Paxton (EH Tech) @mrpaxtontech]

7th Graders improving their 3D computer modeling skills. Next week, they will begin designing their own keychain to eventually 3D print. #EHRoyalPride

[Mr. Paxton (EH Tech) @mrpaxtontech]

8th grade Rube Goldberg machines are getting close. FINAL RUNS on Thursday and Friday. Lots of creative problem solving in this project. #EHRoyalPride

Bill Decker from Purdue Extension Discovery Programs visited our 8th grade gateway classes this week to teach the students about drones. Students had the opportunity to fly a few drones around some obstacles in my classroom. #EHRoyalPride

[Mr. Paxton (EH Tech) @mrpaxtontech]

Bill Decker from Purdue Extension Discovery Programs visited our 8th grade gateway classes a few times this semester to teach them about the 4-H rocketry program and the students also built rockets and launched them.. #EHRoyalPride

7th grade technology did a puzzle teamwork activity right after fall break. How well did they work together once they realized they didn't have all the pieces to the puzzle? Took some cooperation and perseverance, but they all finished. #EHRoyalPride

[Mr. Paxton (EH Tech) @mrpaxtontech]

Before Fall break, the 1st 9-weeks 6th grade tech class created marble coasters to get a better understanding of rollercoaster physics. #EHRoyalPride
