Today some of my classmates and I attended an innovation hub where we learned how to use a universal laser cutter. Before we could work with the machine we had to watch a short tutorial on how to work the machine and create a coaster. Once we were done watching the video we had to take a short quiz and get a 100%. Then we got to work with the laser cutter. We created our design on the computer and created a coaster. The first trial did not go so well. We missed a step and had to redo the design. However, the second time around the coasters came out better, not perfect, but better. I really did enjoy doing this innovation hub. As a future teacher, not only can I teach my students how to pay close attention to steps in an assignment, but i can also teach them how to go back and make sure they fully understand the concept and are paying attention. This is also good for team building skills in the classroom because students have to learn to work together.
