Students Involved in Technology Conference

SIT Conference 2017 in Normal, IL 

My students never cease to amaze me! This year Sheridan had two groups present at the SIT Conference at Heartland Community College. If you are not familiar with the conference, it is a conference for kids, by kids. My two groups presented Adventures in 3D Printing and Battle Bots. 

Adventures in 3D Printing shared resources ranging from purchasing a printer to finding pre-made files to creating your own through Printcraft and ultimately Tinkered. To find out more visit their website.

​My second group presented on their experiences building their own Battle Bots. This group was 

excited to share how they 3D printed and put together their first robots! They did a lot of research on the different types of add-ons you could use to improve your robots chances to defeat the opponent. Go to their website to see their process.
