An Open House to Forget (or remember if you have a good memory)

I’m very happy with the turnout of last night’s open house, most of us expected maybe 10, at most 11 possible students for next year to come to the open house, NOT 41!! But, alas, 41 was the number, and that isn’t even including the families of the candidates for next year!

Yesterday i manned the 3D printer station. Wait, Have i EVER mentioned the 3D printer on here? I don’t think i have! Okay, so at the Inquiry Hub we have a 3D printer which more than half of us know how to use. It’s not actually that hard, it just requires 3D models in GCODE format, which you can easily achieve by slicing an stl file in coordia (that probably makes no sense to most of you :b ) Then stick it on an SD card and then slide it into the 3D printer’s SD card drive, and then hit print! (Wow i’m really bad at making stuff sound easy)

So i was manning it and answering questions, but I also had one other job. Doodle3D. I had an iPad wirelessly hooked up to a little special box which is the core of Doodle3D , which was then wired to the printer. Doodle3D is a program in which there is a little box inside which you can doodle anything as long as you try to keep it all in one stroke. And then you can customize it in many of the available ways on the site, then hit print. And the 3D printer will print it out. So, as you can guess, the station where you get things you can take home for free (mine) was the most popular.
