Episcopal EC Design Lab

Doing dangerous things carefully is the perfect opportunity for learning! Kindergarten used a hot glue gun to make plywood. We were shocked how strong it was! None of us (even me) could break our plywood! And, of course, everyone LOVED getting to use the hot glue gun. Some even told me, “I’m not allowed to do this at home.” 😬 We talked about the strength of materials, using heat energy to melt the solid glue into a liquid, and so much more. The goggles were probably overkill but they just look so cute!

3D printing club is so much fun! This crew and I are learning and growing each week. This student-designed print was our first attempt at slicing designs on our own. It’s not a perfect print but it pointed out a support issue that was an easy fix! So often it’s the missteps that lead to growth. So we like to quote Nelson Mandela. “We never lose. We either win or we learn.”

First Graders are on their Chromebooks! Each child selected a unique password and has been logging in all on their own. They’re really getting the hang of it now! A special thanks to the amazing Mr. Steven for all his help!
