High School Technology:
The Project Lead The Way - Civil Engineering and Architecture class spent this week being introduced to Land Surveying. After some classroom work on foundational theory, and some basic survey equipment demonstrations and practice, we today went outside to practice Differential Leveling! It stopped raining just long enough for the students to successfully complete measurements and calculations for elevation and distance. They did a great job!
Next, we will analyze the student data before going outside again next week to complete a Closed Loop Survey, weather permitting!
High School Technology:
The Project Lead The Way - Introduction to Engineering Design class spent this week learning about Mechanical Motion (Kinematics). Students first built mechanical assemblies out of VEX IQ parts, before analyzing motion and and the relationship between moving parts.
The class has now moved into CAD software to model these assemblies and further analyze mechanical motion. A great job so far! Next steps are to design and build cams, before using them as component parts of an Automata project!
