Students in Introduction to Engineering Design have been using their skills learned in Computer-Aided Design to build a stand for their cell phone that allows the operator to watch it in landscape mode!
Students use a technique known as "parametric modeling" where dimensions are expressed as variables to be determined later, creating a model that can adapt to many different circumstances. In this case, the models were built without knowing the size of the phone to be mounted or the thickness of the material the stand would be built from. By using parametric modeling, students could quickly adapt their model from one phone to the next, or from 2 mm acrylic to 1/8 inch plywood!
Interested in learning more about building updates? In this short video, Superintendent Laurie Andries discusses recent building updates and plans.

Did you know we offer Intro to Sports Medicine as part of our Fitness Instructor Pathway program? Students will explore careers in Sports Medicine and Movement Science. Scituate students learn how principles from Biomechanics and Physiology are applied by Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists, and other specialists. Later in the year, students learn the application of fitness principles in 'Physical Training for active Careers' the second course in the pathway. The Fitness Instructor Endorsement can be earned simultaneously while enrolled in other pathways here at Scituate High School. Check out our student made video!
