3-d PrinitngTCS graduate Justin Switzer, who is also a youth librarian at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, presented a seminar today on 3-D printing.  He explained how it works and the many programs available to design 3-D projects.  This was followed by the students developing their own individual designs and a demonstration on a 3-D printer that Justin brought along with him. This new technology has the potential to have a major impact on commerce and expanding the capaciy an individual’s creativity can achieve. The students were intrigued and are looking forward to the next seminar in this series.

CSI Bridge BuildingTo compliment lessons in their physics class, students broke into teams to “build a better bridge” as part of their weekly labs led by CSI – the Community School Initiative of Johns Hopkins University. The three teams each took a different approach to building their engineering projects before the competition to see which bridge would hold the most weight.  The photo shows students Vernon Laumann, Janiah Tillery, and Michael Poe. Special thanks to CSI leaders Quenton Bubb and Kathryn Rees as well as  all of their members who give up their time every week to work with our students.
