We have a lot of computer science applications to offer in our school. We have been experimenting with using our glowforge within art class. A student created this puzzle using a cut file. We cut it from acrylic and then she painted it. Our digital art class is learning to design within Krita (photoshop program) and drawing with our drawing tablets. These are great skills to learn if students plan on going into the trades or they are college bound. They can even be applied if they want to start their own business in the future.
