Below is a listing of many of the activities we have worked on in the Technology and Engineering Club in the 07-08 school year.
Robotics
In the fall and winter, students prepared for the Botball robotics competition. Several of these students participated in the preparation and competition events at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. Students included Nick Cline grade 10, Ben Hunter grade 10, Jessica Stayton grade 9, Grayson Padulla grade 8, Andrew Hovey grade 7, Michael Cheale grade 7.
With the Vinyl Cutter, students have developed a set of workflows for using the machine to make personalized stickers for among other things, decorating cellphones and other personal devices. We have also developed a system for using the vinyl as a stencil for making silkscreen t-shirts with custom designs. One student also developed a new system for creating printed circuit boards, which would normally be purchased.

One student also developed a new system for creating printed circuit boards, which would normally be purchased. He then went on to market these vinyl stickers to customers worldwide. Other students have worked on multi color images made of vinyl stickers.
With the Shopbot, students have continued to develop ideas from previous years around the themes of making three dimensional assemblies of custom designed parts. These include an original board game and personal organizer projects. Other students have been making signs out of wood stock with customized images and words on them.

Fab Lab
Throughout the school year, students have worked collaboratively on projects in the DHS Fab Lab, a new set of tools acquired over the past few years to match the initiative from the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms. In these projects, students have focused on two tools, the Vinyl Cutter, funded this year through a grant from the Duxbury Education Foundation and the Shopbot, a computer controlled wood router.
