On a busy day in a #makerspace it is hard to find time to document all the projects before they go out the door. Sometimes the only metric you have for success is the amount of cleanup at the end of the day. #MakerspaceLife

Some TLC for the #makerspace loaner Prusa3D Mini+ #3Dprinters. New handles, labels & firmware updates. Printing eppendorf tube holders a teacher needs for a lab on Monday as test prints. Updated firmware makes them faster than when new! #MakerspaceLife

Procraftinating by making some stickers for School Lunch Hero Day! #makerspace #MakerspaceLife

Production mode engaged on earth science manipulative. Using digital fabrication to turn a class long paper craft into a quick hands-on exploration. #3dprinter #vinylcutter #makerspace #makerspacelife

Designed a sticker sheet for participants of the FLL Explore Faire hosted by ACL RoboLoCo at the Academies of Loudoun today. #makerspace #MakerspaceLife

Spent way too much time creating custom scale wall textures for culinary class to use for restaurant design project. Also iterating different keycaps on resin printer for entrepreneurship group developing an ergonomic keyboard. Busy day. #makerspace #MakerspaceLife

Getting nerdy in the #makerspace. New software for school scanning electron microscope outputs height map & heat map. Printed height-map on UV printer w/10 gloss layers & then color heat map on top. Textured print 0.015” tall so you can feel surface. #MakerspaceLife

Replacement stand for SUREBONDER hot glue gun #3Dprinted on Bambu Lab X1C. Stands often go missing when glue guns are loaned out. PLA/ABS failed but PLA-CF appears to be upgrade as it is stiffer and more stable than original part

I’m going to the final Constructing Modern Knowledge this summer! Such a valuable learning experience & community that I’m paying out of pocket to attend. Every educator should have this experience!!!

Quite a bit of tinkering has gone into helping teacher build this wind tube in #makerspace Experience design for field day exploration & #STEM outreach.

Hey #3Dprinting #robotics folks. Is there a servo adapter heat insert? I want to quickly attach a variety of 3D printed parts to a servo and have a robust attachment to small scale robot able to survive collisions. #makerspace

Robotics summer camp! ACL RoboLoCo members guiding middle schoolers through a week long exploration of all the roles on a #FIRST Robotics Competition team. 2:1 ratio means every camper had quality time w/ a high school mentor to talk about robotics, #STEM & #morethanrobots

Full week of robotics summer camp and then a 6 hour rush of cleaning and maintenance. (The storage rooms are a disaster & need a deep clean.) Let the 3.5 weeks of summer begin! #makerspace

My secret fear is that I come to #CMK24 and cosplay a constructivist learner at summer camp and then don’t deliver that experience to my school community during the year… And a cool car at dinner.
