SOLIDWORKS
We all use a wide range of devices to navigate our everyday lives without even thinking twice about it. Ever wonder how all these complex products are designed? Join us for a 2-week session where we will explore SOLIDWORKS, a design tool used by Engineers and Makers all over the globe to help solve life’s everyday challenges. Over the 2 weeks we will learn about basic part modeling, how those parts can be used to create working assemblies, and finally the creation of drawings that can be used to have those parts and assemblies go from concept to reality.
Mr. Craig Riedel of Beckett Thermal Solutions will be on campus Monday, March 7 through Friday, March 18, during 3rd period to teach SOLIDWORKS to Mr. Bogstad’s Engineering 1 class. A few spaces are available for interested students.
 
Please follow up with Mrs. Judy Mey via email at Mey@elyriacatholic.com if you are interested.

Parental Mental Health Tip of the Week:
Encourage helping others. Teens need to know that they can make a difference. Pro-social behaviors build self-esteem, foster connectedness, reinforce personal responsibility, and present opportunities for positive recognition. Helping others and getting involved in reinforces being part of the community. Adapted from National Association of School Psychologists, "Supporting Children’s Mental Health: Tips for Parents and Educators".
