Thursdays of the first trimester of the STEM Capstone Lab are our "Work and Learn" days where students have the opportunity to tinker and skill build .... and give a taste of what second trimester will be like.
Joy Stewart wrote a blog posting of her observations during this week's Work and Learn. Below is an excerpt of her post: ...I think today was a much more relaxed day for most of the STEM students. Thursdays are our Work-and-Learn days. It's the one day of the week where we definitely have class time to work on our project. Mostly, Thursdays are supposed to be where you have something physically to work or tinker with. But not everyone has something like that in this stage of their project, so they just do research and do other things to make progress in their project. Work-and-Learn days for me are primarily spent going through my coding tutorials, and testing what I coding. But it's really cool to see what everyone else is working one. One girl, who's working to improve prosthetics, was 3D printing a hand today, doing it in parts. So printing each joint separately so they can be mobile. Some people were sawing or drilling, or working with circuits. Since this time isn't usually focused on completing assignments, but just making general progress, it's much more relaxed. And it's the only time of the week we definitely have time to work on our projects in class. Anyways, that's all for tonight. Until next week... Goodnight and Thanks for Reading, Joy S.
