3rd Grade had a terrific visit to Upper School as a kick-off to our Invention Convention. Director of Technology, John Rison, gave the students an introduction to all of the amazing things happening in technology at AFS. The students watched the 3-D printer in action, explored the robotics lab and even saw the new AFS drone! The students learned that the 3-D printer can print with different materials and original items can be scanned and then printed. The students may be able to print components or actual replicas of their inventions. The 1st Annual 3rd Grade Invention Convention will be held in May and the students will be designing something that can be used at recess, either indoors or outdoors. They will be able to incorporate Little Bits into their creations as well.
Thanks to John for such a great visit to Upper School!
