This time we visited Oak Ridge Lab, where the first nuclear reactor is and where the Manhatten project got its boom. There's a lot of research for sustainability and efficiency happening and I'm thankful to have seen a few projects! #Ignitelearningbcps Thanks DukeUEnergy The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Introducing students to the not so explosive output of small Hydrogen fuel cells. This Mars Rover project introduces them to a completely renewable source of energy and how to use it in a low voltage system. #Ignitelearningbcps #nasa #vexrobotics #mars #sustainability #teach

Patton High School engineering class using different forms of energy storage by using wind energy to store water in a higher reservoir. These students are able to generate enough mechanical energy for 2.2 cubic inches per second water storage. #Ignitelearningbcps

Vehicles sold in the US last year 1. Ford F-series: 909k 2. Chevy Silverado: 586k 3. Ram Pickup: 537k 4. Toyota RAV4: 427k 5. Nissan Rogue: 412k 6. Honda CR-V: 379k 7. Toyota Camry: 343k this year Cybertruck: over 200k orders in 72 hours. #Tesla Elon Musk

Another successful build. Using wind energy to store water in a reservoir for later use. This Patton engineering group was able to pump and store 3.25 cubic inches per second! Amazing work by some amazing students. #Ignitelearningbcps #engineering #projectbasedlearning

Getting out and about delivering shirts to my #technologyatudentassociation members since we were unable to go to regionals. I was also able to present a second place medal to a student who competed in photographic technology! Patton High School #wearepatton #Ignitelearningbcps

Watching the NCTSA awards ceremony with anticipation. Congrats to Hailey S. for 2nd in 3D CAD Engineering and qualifying for Nationals, and Karsen H. for 2nd in Geospatial Engineering. #ignitelearningbcps

It took a semester to get this project back to test but it was worth waiting on! A completely 3d printed functioning water pump designed on @onshapeinc by Judge A. and printed on the tried and true @lulzbot3d .

Got our trophies in today! What a trophy too! #ignitelearningbcps
