Wayne Trace High School’s maintenance director Bob Thomas recently approached the school’s STEAM center with a challenge: could they create a downspout to replace a broken ceramic one that is no longer made? Bob was quickly introduced to Luke Stouffer, a senior student in Mr. Ed Stuart’s Engineering Design course. In less than a day, Luke had measured, calculated, and designed a replacement downspout using Fusion 360, a computer-aided design program that he just learned this fall. The design was printed using one of the school’s 3D printers, and in less than 48 hours, the problem was solved!
We are ready for your next challenge, Bob!
