George Zhou, right, an undergraduate in materials science and engineering, prepares to collect molten aluminum and pour it into a mold under the direction of professor Tim Chambers, left, in the MSE Advanced Lab in the Herbert H. Dow Engineering Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2023. The floor of the lab where the pour will happen has a layer of sand on it to protect it in case of spills.
The Advanced Lab is home to MSE 360, a course about structural materials used for building everything from vehicles to buildings and beyond. In the first half of the course, students learn standard alloys before moving into design. MSE 360 is an opportunity to gain experience in both theory and application.

A high school student learns that a bayonet on the end of a rifle was not just for show. This hands on study goes beyond the book and helps the student appreciate the history better.
A few times a year, Human Connections organizes GETs (Global Engagement Trips) for student groups, tourists, and other visitors eager to gain a better understanding of the local culture in Nayarit, Mexico. This particular GET group, from Northern Illinois University, participated in a week long program centered around social entrepreneurship, NGO management, and sustainable development.

A student from E.C. Killin Elementary School, Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, poses for a picture while wearing thermal protective equipment, May 8, during a tour of the aircraft rescue and fire fighting station on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. The tour provided students with the understanding of ARFF Marines’ responsibilities within Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, MCAS Futenma and the opportunity to explore various career paths. During the visit, ARFF Marines demonstrated the use of hand lines, also known as fire hoses; mounted water turrets; and the proper use of various personal protective equipment, such as gas masks, helmets with face shields, proximity equipment and footwear. After the demonstrations, the Marines taught the students how to properly use and operate the equipment. (Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl. Janessa K. Pon/ Released)
After preparing for weeks, DGN students in the Child Development class welcomed their first little people into the classroom for the first time! And for many of the preschoolers, this was their first time being at school! #handsonlearning #WeAreDGN #99learns
A large group of workshop participants build a new addition to our Botanic Garden, an Herb Spiral, under the guidance of local Permaculture expert, Barb Hazenveld in this half day workshop. Talk about "hands-on" and a "group" project! Everyone did their part - way to go guys!
High school students thumb through vintage magazines from World War II. They enjoy the ads as much as the stories and pictures.

Marines pose for a picture with students from E.C. Killin Elementary School, located on Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, during a tour of the aircraft rescue and fire fighting station, May 8, on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. The Marines are rescuemen with ARFF, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, MCAS Futenma. The tour was a part of a visit to the flight line on MCAS Futenma that provided students with the understanding of the ARFF Marines’ responsibilities and the opportunity to explore various career paths. During the visit, ARFF Marines demonstrated the use of hand lines, also known as fire hoses; mounted water turrets; and the proper use of various personal protective equipment, such as gas masks, helmets with face shields, proximity equipment and footwear. After the demonstrations, the Marines taught the students how to properly wear the protective equipment and operate hand lines. The tour provided children with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in various career fields to enhance classroom learning. (Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl. Janessa K. Pon/ Released)

This is a hand-embroidered artist trading card (ATC) that I made for my youngest daughter.
It's going into an alphabet book that is made up of ATCs (there are two ATCs per letter - one that I made and one that someone else made that I traded for).
It is the standard 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", and made from felt and embroidery floss. The entire front of the card is done in the back-stitch; and the card is blanket-stitched to a felt backing.
I'm going to make another version (without the E) for my shop where there are other hand-embroidered ACEOs that I've made and are available. Please see my Flickr profile for the link to my shop.
This is for one of the stories in the Five in a Row series. The cookbook had a variety of recipes to bring the book to live through food.
Each year Justin Borsato’s Grade 6 and 7 students at Britannia Elementary design, build, and race a mousetrap or balloon-powered car as a way to learn about physics and math concepts.
This project also partners with the UBC Engineering Department, and UBC students volunteer their time over their reading break to mentor Britannia students on basic engineering and physics principles.
Each team had also worked together to brand their carts and create a presentation showcasing their cart’s unique features. Not lacking in creativity, cart names included: Star Cars, Super Mobile and The Flash, The Ugly Duckling and Sabre Toothed Llama.

University of Michigan students smile as their team’s heavily wrapped cubesat is launched as part of Associate Professor James Cutler’s AEROSP 495 and 740 classes from Plumb Lake County Park near Sturgis, Michigan on Tuesday, December 6, 2022. This was the final of four student-designed cubesats, each carried into the stratosphere by a large helium-filled balloon. After launch, the students began getting data from their cubesats and began following them from the ground expecting them to land somewhere between Tecumseh and Saline, Michigan later that afternoon.
The goal of the courses is to give students the opportunity to design and build complex satellite-like flight vehicles. The high-altitude balloons, which are filled with helium, rise into the stratosphere emulating some key aspects of spaceflight. According to Graduate Student Instructor Gage Bergman, "The stratosphere is an extreme environment, it experiences vast temperature differences, and also requires students to develop robust and reliable systems because once a balloon is released, there is no way to retrieve it - just like actual spaceflight.” Bergman is a masters student in aerospace engineering.
