Our school won the Cool Schools competition that a local news show has and they rewarded us with 7 live segments. Our principle gave my class 2 of the segments. The first was covering video productions and the second covered the cnc/autocad classes. The shopbot has created quite the buzz in our school district. I received a ton of emails after the shot from people in the district I didn't even know. It has been a challenge in Ohio to establish Technology Education as a needed curriculum, and I hope little things like this will help. Here is a link to that segment:

I want to give a huge thanks to the following people:
1. Joel Schuman who sold me the machine at a wonderful price last Spring and was a most gracious host.
2. Ed Harral for letting me visit his school in SW Missouri and giving me all the time I needed to see how he used his shopbot in his class.
3. Ari Krupnik who created the mosaic which is featured in the piece.
