Toy Adaptation Day
Lehigh Career and Technical Institute and Jim Thorpe students joined forces at Toy Adaptation Day to work on adapting children’s toys for our students with disabilities! Classrooms are able to utilize a 3D printer to create buttons that work with the toys. When pressed, these buttons work as a trigger for the toys' functions. LCTI and Jim Thorpe students made connections within the toy that enable the buttons to work. A wonderful way to promote STEM and community!

Makerspaces at CLAS
These Carbon Learning Achievement School students are experimenting with makerspace tools like the 3D Doodler, Keva Blocks, and Makerbots! Ms. Craig's students are no stranger to this technology; they had a hand in making the 3D printed buttons used in the adapted toys on Toy Adaptation Day!

Student Forum at Hawk Mountain
Student Forum can be seen here at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary clearing brush and helping with tasks around various out-buildings on the grounds. Their tasks included splitting and stacking logs, clearing brush, and organizing work areas. A little soggy and chilly, but these young leaders worked through it and persevered.
