Mrs. Abells DIM and Animation classe projects with a 3D Printer: Animation class just finished their first project. Each student designed and printed a phone case for their phones. Each student started by drawing a schematic drawing with precise measurements. They took their design concept and developed a prototype using Blender Software. From the software they developed a prototype using the 3D printer. At Somerville High School our students are taking their ideas from concept, to design, to working prototype!

Attention students who park behind the administration office, please do not sit there revving your engines. We have elderly neighbors who live around that particular area. If I can hear it in my unit, and teachers can also, your car is too loud. Please don’t do that in the mornings. Let’s have respect for those that are still asleep.
Thank you,
Somerville SRO
