Would love to connect with them during the @BotsIQSWPA finals competition in April!
Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh is building the next generation of makers through its student-led combat robotics team - https://t.co/bjj8dIUt5v. From CAD to machining their own aluminum parts on a Tormach 770M, these students are turning ideas into battle-ready robots. #STEM

For any K-12 Fab Lab teachers, I just posted a bunch of old lessons that I created way back when I was managing a mobile #FabLab. I wanted to have a place on my website to share them with anyone who would like to use them. https://t.co/FnRmxhMkrW
