This year, in order to get into the holiday spirit, Drafting Design & Engineering students are designing 3D printing personalized ornaments for the Little Falcons PreK program here at DRRHS. Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Drafting students sat and interviewed PreK students and asked what some of their "favorite things" are, in order to incorporate those elements into custom Holiday ornaments, made by the High School Drafting students. Photos of the completed 3D printed ornaments to follow! Hopefully this is the start of a fun collaborative tradition within the CTE department for years to come!
