It's a ONU "Polar Express"

Technology students assemble "Christmas train"
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, December 21, 2018

For 13 technological studies students, a fall semester project designed to help them learn CAD (computer-aided design) turned into a fun way to showcase their skills and celebrate the holiday season.

Associate professor of technology Feng Jao’s Product Design and Analysis class (TECH 2231) was designed to prepare students to use and create CAD drawings with a software application called Autodesk Inventor. One of their projects involved re-engineering a wooden toy train set using CAD drawings and 3D printing.

As an unexpected surprise, the project received a healthy dose of Christmas cheer, as well.

Ada police, fire, and EMS converged on Ada Schools on Thursday afternoon—not for an emergency but for a fun time.

Representatives of the three departments met students at the school doors at dismissal time. Santa and the Grinch were there, too. 

School is out for winter break, which is a happy enough occasion for most students. The greetings and candy canes handed out by the first responders made school dismissal even more exciting.
