A Solon Salute this week to Logan Graves who completed his independent study learning AutoCAD 2D (a two-dimensional computer-aided design program). Logan presented his learning and drawings on Thursday, explaining his processes, challenges, and the increasing complexity of his work over time. Precision, Persistence, Problem Solving, and Communication LEs were clearly evident from Logan’s exhibition. Great work, Logan! We salute you and look forward to the unfolding of your AutoCAD 3D experience.
A Solon Salute to Ms. Chabot, Lily Fournier, Amelia Wrigley, Isabelle Boutin, Eleanor Braun, Danny Bruce and Truman Lee Solomon who traveled to Science Day hosted by the Dartmouth College graduate science program last Saturday.
