all- check in as a class
>completed course with working celebration due at end of class on Friday
>worktime available: Wednesday/Friday tutorial and after school work sessions
>review a sample course
>ambition vs reality of your designs

CAD/CAM
>review printed designs – do they fit? do they work?
>if you have NOT submitted a design then…

submit a design for at least ONE part of your 3d printed switch today.  Your design should allow for the wiring to pass through.
>design checklist:
*show your design to Milstead BEFORE you submit
*is it public?
*are there any gaps between any parts?
*are all the parts grouped?
>submit your design here

Programmers
>demonstrate working code for Milstead

woodworkers:
>complete box today, glued and drying by end of period
>once your box has been assembled meet with your team to design the layout of your course
>design your course on graph paper (provided)
>show your course design to Mr. Varvil for approval

CAD/CAM:
>remember – your switch design should fit INSIDE the provided tube.  You are NOT replacing the tube.
>work to reduce the overall size of your 3d print – some are taking more than six hours.
>submit a design for at least ONE part of your 3d printed switch today.  Your design should allow for the wiring to pass through.
>design checklist:
*show your design to Milstead BEFORE you submit
*is it public?
*are there any gaps between any parts?

>submit your design here

programmers:
>remember: start with your stoplight code – it’s all out using the button (input) to trigger your lights (output)
>goal by end of today is working code to breadboard circuit
>note: your circuit does not have to have ALL lights in place – it works to have ONE light per letter for testing

programmers:

due from Monday – write outline of steps that are part of celebration in google doc – share with rpmteacher@gmail.com

diagram breadboard on paper

respond to Milstead’s feedback on your shared code outline

begin programming and/or breadboard work

CAD/CAM:

using the handout draw THREE draft ideas for your 3d printed switch – review with Milstead and pick ONE

begin designing in Tinkercad – submit ONE component to be printed by the end of today’s class – click here to submit
