Always looking for new tools/ideas to add to the engineering lab.
📣 Prize Parade Stop #3! 🎉
Our next stop was at Boyd J. Michael III Technical High School, where we awarded Gary Thomas a grant for his Innovative Project: Rapid Prototyping Through Thermoforming giving students hands on manufacturing experience!💡@wcpsmd @DaveSovine
Thank you SGI Hagerstown for hosting our @MTHSofficial_ students for #nationalmanufacturingday
Welcoming students back to the engineering academy today. We are going to do some great things this year! Wishing everyone a great school year.
Spent the last 2 weeks exploring Germany with @TOPTeachGermany. We had the chance to visit schools, businesses, museums, and plenty of other great experiences. I highly recommend the #TOPstudytour to any teacher and if you have any questions about it, please send me a message! – at Boonsboro, MD
Yesterday we visited the Mercedes Benz Museum to learn about the history of these beautiful vehicles. A great museum and such an interesting architectural design! #TOPstudytour – at Stuttgart, Germany
Today we visited the Carl Benz Technical School focused on engineering and automotive areas, rode in a Unimog vehicle at the Unimog museum, and toured Konig Metall with an impressive apprenticeship program and history. #TOPstudytour

TOP 3 is having an amazing #STEM experience in @stadt_karlsruhe #Germany 🇩🇪!So far they have visited the @kitkarlsruhe to learn about nuclear research; Ernst-Reuter-Schule to learn about teaching strategies; and @zkmkarlsruhe to learn about AI.

The last 2 days in Karlsruhe have been a wide variety of experiences. A tour of a decommissioned nuclear research facility at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, a visit to an excellent secondary school, and the ZKM center for art and media. #TOPstudytour – at Karlsruhe, Germany
Our final 2 days in Mainz were incredible. A visit to Opel training center followed by a Rhein River cruise. Then a visit to a technical school followed by the Gutenberg museum. Tomorrow is off to Karlsruhe. #TOPstudytour – at Mainz, Germany
Great start to our STEM study tour in Germany. Day 1 included a tour of the ZDF studio and a guided tour of the city of Mainz including the impressive red sandstone cathedral. #TOPstudytour
These seniors have completed their final capstone presentations! Thank you to all of the staff, parents, professionals, and alumni who came out to support this year’s engineering class.
Some of our POE mini hydraulic projects from the last week. Mostly 3D printed parts designed by students in CAD.
4 of our Tech High engineering students participated in the SkillsUSA Maryland state competition last weekend earning a silver and bronze in additive manufacturing and a silver in technical drafting!
I am honored and excited to be one of the 2024 TOP Fellows traveling to Germany this summer on a STEM study tour! Can’t wait to get started with this unique experience. #TOPstudytour
Los gehts! We just sent out 2024 #TOPstudytour decision emails. 50 #socialstudies and #STEM teachers will be traveling to #Germany 🇩🇪 with TOP this summer!
Thanks to our TOP Partners @goetheinstitut @GermanyinUSA @DeutscheBank and @SiemensUSA for making this possible!
Enjoyed talking about our engineering program with students and teachers from our sister city Wesel, Germany today!
First time running through this POE project. Students designed vex systems to replicate behaviors/characteristics of living things. These two models based off an angler fish and Venus fly traps. Nice snail cam usage on the angler fish.
Students did a great job presenting their capstones today.
Students from the Academies of Engineering & Biomedical Sciences pitch their capstone projects. Ss were challenged to identify a real world problem and create a prototype design to address the issue. So impressed by the @wcpsmd students’ creative solutions!
