The FAB LAB Visits Heritage Fourth Grade!

This week fourth grade teachers and students used the Heritage Library as a Maker Space to manipulate 2-D Inkscape CAD software. During this process, students worked to engineer and design their own foam core gliders after a study on aerodynamics, gravity, lift, and drag. Laser cutters allowed each student to create their own glider based from their own precise measurement specifications. The Carnegie Science Center team did an extraordinary job in their delivery of instruction and support. Binky Sargent from Kennametal, responsible for the $15,000 grant, was on hand to observe. High school students were integral in filming and interviewing the fourth graders. Please take a moment to enjoy a video snapshot of this unique experience!
