Recently I made a unique tool for showing science, technology, engineering, math, and manufacturing to students. It is a mechanical clock that has over two dozen 3D printed parts in it. In the presentation, students are truly engaged in learning more about the clock.

I have spent thousands of hours developing the clock, from research, development, and engineering, to manufacturing the device. I tell the students that after twenty iterations of making a couple different parts, that I invented my own way on how a clock functions.

The questions that they asked me, display their engagement and interest in the subject matter. This was the case recently at Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Port Washington Wisconsin. I had the opportunity to show several technology education and engineering classes how I took a device that was invented several hundred years ago, and I made it with a new technological process, and I invented my own way on how several components’ functions.
