Laser Cutting Workshop

During Term Two of this year, we were very fortunate to add a laser cutting machine to the amazing resources we have available in the Centre for Innovation.

This workshop provided staff and students an opportunity to become confident using the laser cutting machine and thinking creatively about the possibilities of gifts and cool stuff that they could create.
  
  

Participants were introduced to the concept of "failing forward" - cutting their project early on in the process to see if their idea was going to work.  Once this step had been made, then embellishing their creation could take place as the next step.

It was a pleasure to work with a small group of keen people at the end of the school year.  The Centre for Innovation continued to hum as everyone else began their holidays.  The challenge for many was to start off with creating something simple first before launching into a more complex design idea.  Holding back the creativity in the room was a challenge and a delight. I look forward to more spectacular creations that are still work in progress.
