We had the opportunity to bring Dr. Solin and NCLab into our district for a teacher workshop. The teachers involved raved about the exciting opportunity this could be for our kids. Some teachers who had to be in another workshop expressed disappointment in having had to miss the NCLab workshop. One of our computer teachers now uses NCLab as an instructional tool in our Computer Literacy courses. Some teachers have been looking for means of integrating NCLab into their daily instruction. One of our counselors started an elementary computer club that now has a waiting list for membership. The students in the club have developed the foundations for computer programing, begun implementing 3D modeling, design, and printing, and visited UNR for further exposure to technology opportunities in their future. It is exciting to see staff and students so engaged in learning. We hope we will be able to have Dr. Solin return for a follow-up workshop to engage our staff and deepen their understanding of the facility of NCLab.
