Thank you to everyone who joined us at last Friday’s InnoHub Open House! We had a huge turnout, and everyone had a great time participating in a range of Maker-related activities, like:
For those of you who missed out; don’t worry, we’ll be hosting more events and starting an InnoHub PD series in the near future. Stay tuned! And as always, if you have any questions about incorporating Making or the InnoHub into your curriculum please feel free to reach out to Jordan Wambeke on Outlook or Teams. See you all at the next event!
The NCPA Innovation Hub has been a popular place to be the past couple of months! Here is a run down of what you have missed and what is coming up:
On December 7th, HOD’s participated in an PD session in the InnoHub where they explored the design cycle, learned how our students can benefit from the makerspace, and discussed ways they could incorporate the InnoHub in their curriculum.
The InnoHub is a space for students to create, experiment, and learn through hands-on activities.
You can schedule your class in the space to maximize different learning styles, or send students to work on projects.
Rachel Dragos’ AP Physics classes did experiments with flying pigs on strings in the InnoHub!Students in groups determined how long it took for a plastic pig, replete with flapping wings, to fly around one cycle of the pigs “flight” path by observing and measuring the period, but can only use a meter stick.
Students used trigonometry, components of forces and equations to arrive at their calculations.
The InnoHub is also a great space to host an event! It offers flexible seating, a large screen and projector, plenty of outlets, and a beautiful view of the field and temple.
We are excited to host a staff InnoHub Open House on Friday, January 8th from 3:30-4:30PM+. We will have a variety of stations for you to explore the “maker” in you while socializing and enjoying some tasty treats and beverages. Specific activities will be shared in January.
Please RSVP HERE by December 22 so we can prepare enough materials and food for this event.
