PUZZLE CUBE PROJECT
Our first project is to design,
sketch, and build a puzzle cube. Following the constraints outlined in
our Design Brief and completing each phase of the Design Process, we are
sure to have the best designs in the end! We are now in our final
stages of this project - creating detailed sketches on Inventor and actually
building our puzzles out of wooden cubes. This project ROCKS!

JEWELRY DESIGN CONTEST AND AUCTION
Our local jewelry store, Wiley's
Jewelry, recently helped us raise money for a 3D printer. We first
conducted a contest between our students for the best jewelry design based
on multiview drawings they sketched. The top two designs selected were
created by Alex Reisner (ring) and Mattea Ingram (pendant). Then,
Wiley's Jewelry recreated these designs using their 3D software, formed wax
molds for the unique pieces, made them, and held a silent auction.

Engineers Week 2009
NATIONAL ENGINEERING WEEK (eweek)
WAS FEBRUARY 15 - 22, AND WE HAD A BLAST!
We would like to thank Howard Eighth Grade Center for
allowing us to display our engineering projects and hand out brochures and
flyers on their campus this past week. In addition, a big thanks goes out
to all the local businesses that passed out flyers for us and allowed us to hang
posters that promoted eweek. We would also like to express our gratitude
to the Waxahachie Daily Light for publishing our students' engineering essays
over the past two weeks.
Our biggest event during eweek was a community
wide hands-on workshop, "Engineering in Action, for 1st - 8th graders.
Approximately
80 kids plus
their parents showed up to learn more about engineering and to design, build,
and test newspaper boats! I want to thank our PTO team for providing cookies and
juice for the participants, the administrators and teachers at Global High for
running the registration table and providing tours, and I especially want to
thank my wonderful students that did a
Global High was awarded $10,000 from the Huckabee Community Excellence Fund to help fund a 3D printer for our engineering program. Last year, we received $4,392 from them for the 3D printer, and we raised $ 700 from student designed jewelry that Wiley's Jewelry created for us. In addition, we received a personal donation of $100 for our 3D printer.
n excellent job preparing for this workshop and leading the design challenges.
