For us to document and capture progress, leave feedback and record future work as we optimize the Eastlake Shop. And help students with resources.

o Safety glasses must be worn at all times in the laboratory. Eye protection should provide both front and side protection.
o No loose-fitting clothing, frayed edges or rolled edges of garments that could get caught in machinery or catch sparks. o Complete coverage of the foot and non-flammable footwear (ex. nylon) are required in the laboratory settings. o Remove jewelry, eliminate loose clothing, and tie-back long hair. o Mentor/team advisor must be present if students are using power tools. o Be aware of your surroundings. o Food and Drink are not to be within 5 feet of your work area including robot/laptop

Next Steps: Getting Consumable materials ready for end of Year projects. Areas to evaluate/make a plan/ensure enough information is labeled/ and make the area safer.

Goal for most consumable materials to be available in D124 and to have areas around machines and tables available for students to work on.

Currently sorting through the storage room and getting to know the contents as well as the space limitations. Ideally we can sort it in a more efficient manner that allows easy access for all items and extra space for us to move the scrap metal bin.

FBurkelwsd commented 3 weeks ago

this table can go inside the back garage doors in D125 and using casters from shelving unit H in D124. Bolts/ nuts and washers, probably 1/4-20 are under the square table in D125.

Need Help organizing Materials for the upcoming Automata box Project. Below are the criteria for success and the constraints. SHelving and scrap wood. Also to set aside space under tables and on shelving in D124 especially for projects.

Constraints: Area needs to be cleaned after each work day Individual pieces need to be stored in proper locations to help minimize clutter, and safety for those passing by Can not consume more wood than a 30 cm square, unless taken from scrap materials. Metal scrap and up to 3 vex pieces can be used though need to be recorded. Adhesives and in shop hardware needs to be treated with respect and not wasted. Materials can come from home, as long as we have a place to safely store them. Please give teacher notice. Machinery will be loud, remember we have ear protection on the wall. Safety Glasses are by the main door, should be on at all times when using any tool. Guides for all machines will be used as much as possible, feel free to ask a peer or the teacher, though do answer tons of questions each day, making it difficult to help everyone individually, though we strive to excel. Feedback must be asked for from peers, others in the students day, and teachers more than 3 times throughout the project. | Put these in your own words or images or memes here. Please label with arrow or number. -- | -- Criteria for Success: Must have at least 1 mechanical mechanism, respect and hard work will be granted to anyone taking on a difficult project. Student and teachers must act professionally and safely while giving feedback, seeking help, using tools, transporting, cleaning, and existing in our large shop area.

Several ISTE standards align with this kind of project. Let's take a look at a few that would be particularly relevant: 1. **Computational Thinker (ISTE Standard 5)**: Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions. This standard emphasizes leveraging technological methods to develop and test solutions, which is directly applicable to creating a functional computer model and building the final product. 2. **Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making (ISTE Standard 4)**: This standard involves identifying and defining authentic problems and significant questions for investigation, collecting and analyzing data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions, and using multiple processes and diverse perspectives to explore alternative solutions. These skills are essential in the full design process and building a complex product like an automata box or mechanical toy. 3. **Creative Communicator (ISTE Standard 6)**: Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats, and digital media appropriate to their goals. This standard is relevant when students are presenting their design process, computer model, and the final product. By focusing on these standards, students can not only engage in the technical aspects of the project but also develop essential skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and effective communication, which are valuable in any STEM-related project." Chatgpt AI " The ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) standards that align with this automata design project could include: ISTE Standard 4: Innovative Designer Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.

ChatGPT AI " The automata design project outlined above aligns with several 21st-century skills that high school students will use beyond high school: Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Students engage in a design process where they must identify problems, brainstorm solutions, and critically evaluate the effectiveness of their designs. They must also troubleshoot and refine their designs as needed, developing their ability to think critically and solve problems systematically. Creativity and Innovation: Students are encouraged to showcase their creativity by incorporating custom cultural features into their designs. They must think innovatively to design and construct mechanically moving final projects that are both functional and unique, fostering their creativity and innovation skills. Communication and Collaboration: Throughout the project, students must effectively communicate with peers and teachers to seek feedback, ask questions, and collaborate on problem-solving. They also need to communicate their design ideas and project progress through CAD images, videos, and presentations, honing their communication and collaboration skills. Technological Literacy: By using CAD software such as Fusion 360 or Onshape to design their projects, students develop technological literacy skills that are essential in various fields beyond high school, such as engineering, architecture, and design. Safety Awareness and Responsibility: Students must adhere to safety protocols and guidelines while using tools and machinery in the workshop, demonstrating their awareness of safety hazards and their responsibility to maintain a safe working environment. These safety skills are valuable not only in academic settings but also in future workplaces that involve manual labor or machinery operation. Resource Management: Students learn to manage resources effectively by adhering to constraints such as minimizing wood usage, utilizing scrap materials, and storing individual pieces properly. These skills translate to real-world scenarios where efficient resource management is crucial for success. Resilience and Perseverance: The project requires students to overcome challenges and setbacks, such as design flaws or technical difficulties, by demonstrating resilience and perseverance. These qualities are essential for success in higher education and future careers, where individuals often face obstacles that require persistence to overcome. By engaging in this automata design project, high school students develop a diverse range of skills that are highly transferable and applicable in various academic, professional, and personal contexts beyond high school."

We have updated the consumable material area well. For the south wall of D124.

There is a Vex rolling horizontal cart that needs to have parts dissasembled and returned home. Vex Yellow drawers cart needs to be audited, large sign for above band saw wall can be made with [Uploading Shop norms 5.7.docx…]() on them.
