Peru CSD’s Product Design class is wrapping up making custom fishing landing nets! Students designed a steam box and bending forms to bend the wood hoop. These are fantastic!

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Peru CSD’s Wood Manufacturing class is wrapping up designing flip down coat/ hat racks!

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

New @Tormach mill is all set up at Clinton Community College’s Institute for Advanced Manufacturing- lots of work to assemble! Next step is to add an Industrial robot for machine tending

Peru CSD’s Product Design class is busy making fishing nets!

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Installing the new @Tormach mill at the Institute for Advanced Manufacturing at Clinton Community College. Day 2 will be the enclosure.

@BuonomoBrian Awesome! I’ll try one out! Great website too!

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Peru CSD’s Robotics class had their final build- making an automated factory! #dobot

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

@BuonomoBrian Thanks- the students did a great job. They were using dobot studio on separate laptops with infrared sensors to wait for the next station to be ready. It’d be awesome to get them going all from the same program !

Peru CSD’s Principles of Engineering class learned about linkages and mechanisms this year designing and building working hydraulic scissor lifts

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Don’t strain your back! Peru CSD’s Power Mechanics class put together a homemade light duty gantry crane this year to help with engine moves

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Peru CSD’s MST (math science technology) class had launch number 1 of their rocket powered airplanes! Students will create multiple versions of their wing designs to test for the optimal wing loading conditions!

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Peru CSD’s Power Mechanics class has wrapped up their 2 cycle outboard engine restoration projects. Students diagnosed issues on some of these 60+ year old engines and a few are now running again!

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Peru CSD’s Principles of Engineering class finished their final project of welding a crane truss arm with a motor and pulley system for lifting! Students used welding rod as their material for their designs and tested the amount of deflection under load.

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Peru CSD’s Power Mechanics class has their Go-kart put together and are ready for warmer temps to take it for a spin! @PeruCSD

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Peru CSD’s Robotics students discovered the best way to hand out candy for Halloween! @Tormach

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Peru CSD’s Robotics class created their first robot program today for the @Tormach ZA6 robotic arm. Students used pathpilot hub to familiarize themselves with the controls then each programmed a waypoint.

@BuffaloBills As a tech teacher (shop class) and bills fan/ this made my day!!

[Leif Sorgule @PeruCSDTech]

Peru CSD’s Math Science Technology class had their first rocket launches of the year!
