As a way to introduce parents to some of the equipment that their children will be using in Apison's VW eLab, I will be hosting STEM Night Projects. On these project nights, parents & students will be able to create a project that they will then be able to take home with them. Each keepsake made will be something that can only be created using the type of fabrication equipment that we have in our STEM Classroom. It is a way to both learn what we are doing and to create something special, and customized, for your family.
These projects will not be replicas of school projects and they will be set up differently as well. Some of the steps will be streamlined so that our parents & students will be customizing their nearly completed project, i.e. finishing their keepsake, instead of creating it from scratch. There will be a charge for these projects. The money collected will be used to fund ongoing student projects, to purchase additional equipment for our VW eLab, and purchase replacement materials as well.
STEM Night = Holiday Themed Tea Lamps
The example above was printed in white filament with other color choices being available for the tea lamp's frame. White was chosen because it can later be decorated or painted using an acrylic or enamel paint. Here are some examples of these paints.
Participation Cost: $12 per Family
Date: TBD
Time: 4:10 - 5:15 PM
Limited to the first 12 families to register. Each family group is limited to a maximum of 3 participants (at least 1 adult & at least 1 student). Note! The project design will be completed during the event, but the required 3D printing time is 3hrs. 36 mins. This means the boxes will be started that night and delivered to your child the next school day.

Registration Link: Will be posted once the event date is set.
NOTE! Depending upon interest level, additional nights for this project will be added to the calendar and the wait list created using the Registration Link above will be given the first choice for seats to these future nights.
