This is the Leather Sofa project by 10-year old Adrian Gonzalez at the Roy Gomm Elementary School in Reno. Adrian created this design in NCLab completely on his own, prior to today’s workshop, consulting the free PLaSM textbook http://femhub.com/textbook-cad for things he did not know. Amazing! The first NCLab CAD Challenge ended on December 31,

Denise Mirich from Owyhee Combined School is one of the participants of the STEM teacher training program organized by Val Byrnes and Holly Marich from the Northern Nevada Regional Professional Development Program (NNRPDP). She shares her impressions with using Karel the Robot in NCLab in her class.

NNRPDP (Northern Nevada Regional Professional Development Program) adopted NCLab for teacher training. NCLab allows educators to bring into their classrooms new tools and methods to teach computer programming, math, geometry, 3D design, writing, and other subjects. This includes cool tricks such as using Karel the Robot to teach probability, using a CAD system to explain

LaTeX was introduced to NCLab recently and we already plan substantial improvements, so this post is not a grand celebration yet. Nevertheless I want to share how easy it was to create my first professional LaTeX document – an invitation letter for an Italian professor. It was super easy – upload all files, press the

Dilworth STEM Academy is Reno uses NCLab to teach 3D geometry. Here are some insights from Jennifer Jones, a Dilworth Math Teacher (posted with permission): “The kids were working on the task of creating four 3D geometric figures and then surrounding them in a torus. The beauty is that when it didn’t work, the kids

Today I [Pavel] bought my first Android phone! I have been planning for some time to upgrade my super old iPhone because I needed an ssh client. Today a nice special ($560 -> $99) decided that my next phone will be a Samsung Galaxy SIII. BTW the offer at BestBuy lasts till 04/11/13. As a

  The Dilworth STEM Academy Middle School in Reno is excited to use NCLab for math, computer programming, and 3D design courses. “The increase in the WANT to learn went up tremendously in just one day” says Math Mentor Teacher Ms. Jennifer Jones.  

NCLab was presented at the Southern Nevada Math and Science Conference (SNMSC 2012) in Las Vegas on January 18-19. One day teacher training workshop took place at Dilworth STEM Academy in Reno on January 22. Next workshop will take place at the Galena HS in Reno on January 28. The second three-day workshop in Ely,

Today we tested NCLab on a Chromebook and it SHINES! Photo shows GNU Octave demo script and its output. We were worried that we will have to reduce the default size of some windows because of the smaller display but there is absolutely no need for that. 3D graphics (WebGL) works out of the box.

We are happy to announce that NCLab now operates in HTML 5! Probably the most significant change for the user is that advanced 3D graphics (WebGL) is now much more stable. It works in Internet Explorer as well as on mobile devices. You do no longer need to go into your web browser’s settings and
