materials. Modeling techniques include 3D modeling using Onshape, a free, browser-based CAD program. Students will additionally use 3D printing and laser-cutting and become trained in wood- and metal-working in the Brown Design workshop. The course will include two to three design projects to be completed in groups. Students are encouraged to bring laptops to class. Students should be prepared to attend every class and both Saturday Engineering Lab sessions. In addition, the students will be required to do approximately four hours of homework on their own per week. Introduction to Engineering is a credit-bearing, pass/fail course that will be included on students’ Lincoln transcripts. Application information can be found at lincolnschool.org/courseforms.
Steelyard Summer immersion: Introduction to Metalworking and Introduction to Jewelry The Steelyard Summer immersion is an intensive program during which Lincoln students are exposed to the materials and processes associated with Metalworking and Jewelry design. Students who enroll in the Introduction to Metalworking course will learn how to cut, grind, bend and weld a variety of metals including steel, cast iron, and stainless steel. After the students have built their working knowledge of these processes, they will apply these techniques to the creation of a series of three-dimensional sculptures. Students will be asked to take creative risks and to explore the possibilities of the materials with which they are working. Over the course of the week, students will have the opportunity to give and receive feedback on their work and that of their classmates. The course is open to students of all experience levels. Students who enroll in the Introduction to Jewelry course will learn the fundamentals of the jewelry-making process. Students work with a wide range of hand-tools applying traditional and modern jewelry making techniques. This course will cover sawing, filing, soldering, scoring/bending, texturing, forming, linkages, wire construction and more. Beyond the technical aspects of the art form, students will explore the relationship between form and function and how 60
