Disc Brake Service is the lab this week!! Students are so excited to perform this skill! #207Gearheads

Group said they were done. I put an “F” on the Lab Sheet and walked away. They called classmates over and so many ideas were shared until someone found the issue. They fixed it and grade was updated. The issue: brake pad on backwards #SoClose #207Gearheads

#207Capstone students started building the obstacles to practice drone autonomous flight using DJI Tello and Droneblocks Community #207Now

#207Capstone students fabricating the HMV go kart steering system. They got stuck on a previous design but after a brainstorming session a new design was made that is working much better!

Dave Burk from WyoTech performed an automotive painting demonstration and each student had the opportunity to try painting using water!

#207Gearheads brought in cars for vehicle inspections today. Found this really bad ball joint, a bad tie rod and a broken sway bar link on 3 different cars. Great learning experiences!!

Are there any schools that have common expectations for how Google Classroom is set up for different teachers? Common features you expect? Would love to see a list if you have one. #GoogleClassroom
