Students were tasked to create something that would be of use to the school. They were required to submit a project proposal detailing the timeline for completion, design sketches, a materials list, and a description of the project. Students are required to learn a new skill and build something physical. They are also allowed to include a programming component using a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino microcomputer.  Students have access to the 3D printer, laser cutter and CNC machines. #### Andrew Steiner's Lightbox LED display that spells out the Tampa Prep mission statement  | ![IMG_7797 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7797%20(1).jpg?width=400&name=IMG_7797%20(1).jpg) | | --- | | ![IMG_7799 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7799%20(1).jpg?width=400&name=IMG_7799%20(1).jpg) | | ![IMG_7801 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7801%20(1).jpg?width=400&name=IMG_7801%20(1).jpg) |     #### James Harrell and Cowboy Dixon's Event Countdown Clock Allows people to put in dates which will display a countdown until that date on a website | ![IMG_7808 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7808%20(1).jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_7808%20(1).jpeg)   | | --- | | ![IMG_7815 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7815%20(1).jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_7815%20(1).jpeg) |   #### Porter Laartz's Scanner Allows people to check loaner devices such as iPads or cameras in/out using a QR code on the device | ![IMG_7570 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7570%20(1).jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_7570%20(1).jpeg) | | --- | | ![IMG_7572 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7572%20(1).jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_7572%20(1).jpeg) |   #### Connor White's Neon Sign A neon sign of the terrapin logo that turns on when motion is detected | ![IMG_7821 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7821%20(1).jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_7821%20(1).jpeg) | | --- | | ![IMG_7826 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7826%20(1).jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_7826%20(1).jpeg) |   #### Ruijia Lyu and Rachel Rizzi's LED School Map  Interactive map of the three different school levels with touch sensor LED lights.  | ![IMG_7828 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7828%20(1).jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_7828%20(1).jpeg) | | --- | | ![IMG_7831 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_7831%20(1).jpeg?width=400&name=IMG_7831%20(1).jpeg) |   #### Timothy Calco's Stool with the School Seal CNC cut with six different operations (parts) and three different cutting bits | ![IMG_8476](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_8476.jpg?width=400&name=IMG_8476.jpg) | | --- | | ![IMG_4593](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_4593.jpg?width=400&name=IMG_4593.jpg) | | ![IMG_4594](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/NEWS%20-%20STEM/IMG_4594.jpg?width=400&name=IMG_4594.jpg) |   Search ### Categories - [Academic Counseling (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/academic-counseling) - [Academics (16)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/academics) - [Alumni (9)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/alumni) - [Arts (23)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/arts) - [Athletics (14)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/athletics) - [Community Service (14)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/community-service) - [Downtown Tampa (4)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/downtown-tampa) - [Faculty (2)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/faculty) - [History & Traditions (3)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/history-traditions) - [Life Lessons (12)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/life-lessons) - [Middle School (32)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/middle-school) - [Parenting (2)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/parenting) - [Robotics (2)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/robotics) - [Science (12)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/science) - [Special Events (2)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/special-events) - ### Previous PostSenior Shares Tribune Scholar Essay - ### Next PostMiddle School Battle of the Books Team Places 2nd - - - - - © 2022 Tampa Preparatory School 727 W.
