My Field Trip Yesterday

I had the opportunity to take a field trip yesterday to an amazing place called the TechShop.


While its St. Louis grand opening was this weekend, there are locations all over the United States.  It is a vibrant, creative community that provides access to instruction, tools, software, and space.  It is an open access, DIY workshop and fabrication studio.   It is a community-based space where entrepreneurs, artists, makers, teachers, and students come together to learn and work.

Lab to create prototypes with laptops and multiple 3D printers
What I loved about visiting this space was being able to see the way our students will be working in their future.  What do you notice


If anyone is interested in visiting, they also have classes you can sign up for.  Check out the link to learn more.
