I Brooklyn Tech is a pretty amazing place
the specialized high school here in New York City they really specialized been
pumping out engineer ready
students
my name's Tom and I'm the Senior Mechanical Engineering instructor here
Brooklyn Technical High School
when I started here about two years ago the course were specifically geared
towards computer numerical control machinery
and in the last 12 months we've been making drastic changes towards rapid
prototyping
specifically with the mic but were able to get through more material
the students are able to absorb more manufacturing related knowledge
they're able to check their parts and verify designs
probably in the same class period verses on the traditional methods we were doing
about two years ago
they we have to wait a day or two or sometimes by the end of the week
the maker bot and the new era of rapid prototyping and the
last accessibility is opening up the field engineering as a whole
we're seeing a lot more interest from all sorts of students starting as early
as freshman year
one of my students Vishnu says in the valley
is in my afternoon class and the first thing he did was he said hey what is
that little black box to
from can go into now and grain
everything was on a piece of paper that kinda
said but i haven't engineering mare usually don't get much
expecting I'm mission thing you're prolly I'm currently a senior at
button Tech High School I just star-making on the tape enter
pressing at the first by the Cayman Islands more and more entry done
how to create more product the design process
that I noticed in him just blossomed tenfold right away he was
more involved in the mechanical theory right now he
is interested in applying more his math skills the last year
health and beauty at the end of the year we were trying to figure out
the following that we're gonna get from and to the lenders
and trying to see it on the computer and trying to
got on the board was really difficult out like a light on iPad
I do any model for the surface I love sitting there for about 30 minutes
staring at the printer and Penny layer by layer I'll
before even stepping my mind no I'm not be the paper
and on the computer and other than at poland having the product in your hand
because
you're able to touch it and you know able to feel the product the problem
miss a and the highest my other in gym teacher
at me to create a instructions that on the maker but because I was working on
it
all the time they told me to teach in front of class so that
all the students can get good their students that sometimes the look at the
picture
and a look at the 3d model and they'll say can you just walk me through it once
more
and there are probably more than verbal learner
some students are completely visual and some other students and now most of them
thanks to the bigger bottle more tactile learners
so they'd rather see it play with it look at it and say hey can't we do this
with this next time
