Students in Mr. Powell's Trig/Precalc class researched and then presented real world examples of trigonometric modeling. Topics included: tides, pulse and blood pressure, engine pistons and sound.
Mr. Scott's World History class experiments with Virtual Reality using Google Cardboard VR goggles. Using Google Expeditions, they can tour ancient civilizations and museum exhibits in 3-D.
The new 3-D printer has been operating almost non-stop since it arrived. Student projects include this chess set, designed in Rhino by Will LaBrecque. This was part of an assignment in an Independent Study Will has with Mr. Powell.
Some impressive artistic and technical skills being developed in Mr. Powell's Engineering class. Here are two examples by Jamie Major (castle) and Lauren Barclay (black and white building). If you know the Rhino drawing program, the intricacy of these drawings will not be lost on you. Incredible detail, layering and shading went into these pieces. Fantastic ladies!
