Gateway College does currently require masks.
I'm working with the lab's instructor, John Zehren, to continue our sessions as long as there is interest from our group. We essentially can do whatever we want. Some *possibilities* currently in the works:
T-shirt Design
- Bring your own T-shirt or Sweatshirt & design (We've been working with Vectr in the lab.) We'll learn how to manipulate the image to make it work for vinyl printing in order to make our shirts.
3-D Printed co2 cars
- This will likely take a few sessions.
- A session to design & slice our designes with Tinkercad. Printing will take time.
- Time to work with printed cars to get them ready to race. Axels, Paint, Fine tuning what might not print as expected.
- Having fun racing their creations with co2 canisters
Soldering a circuit
Laser 3-D model making
CNC Router small furniture
Do you or your kids have ideas of something they'd like to make in the lab? I'm happy to take ideas to John and see if we can turn it into a session.
Thank you.
