3-D printers have been around since the 1990’s but it’s industrial use has increased since then. The past meeting was on 3-D printing as it relates to the human body. Will 3-D printing evolve in such a way that it may save a life by repacing a damaged human organ? It was an interesting discussion as usual! Check out the video. ~~LMM, Club Adviser
Cruelty free meat? What an interesting and very thought-provoking topic for our 12th meeting of the school year!
Is this the way we’ll go in the future? Will this solve world hunger? How does it affect the agricultural community, and in particular those who handle farm animals? The arguments for and against were brought to the table. It was definitely a lively debate at this meeting! Looking forward to the next one! Be sure to check out the calendar on this page for future Club activities.~~LMMolina, Club Adviser
Club members at this meeting tried their hand at game design. In groups of three they had to decide who would (1) create the level (2) create the character and (3) make the story.
Some interesting designs were “started.” Given more time, they would have come up with some really cool stuff!
