<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">After being given the opportunity to build a DIY 3D printer, an interdisciplinary team of students was united. Diversity gave the team the ability to quickly adapt to working with different types of people, just as they would in the real world. The team also acquired the necessary skills required to assemble a 3D printer. Students strained themselves through the tedious assembly, wiring, and coding of the printer. Currently, the trial and error testing of the 3D printer is in motion.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Spring of 2016, Due to our massive success, Open Minds was approached by member of the Colonial School District, to implement a similar version of our current Open Minds Competition, but, in a way in which it was more comprehensible and welcoming to High School student. As consequence, although, this was the very first instance in which this particular set of student had ever been exposed to innovation at first hand. Overall, the student’s response was very positive and enthusiastic, meaning they wanted to learn more what is innovation and how it happens. As matter fact, several student that participated, ask members of the High School Colonial School District that they want to participate in another Open Minds Competition. For the high School students Open Minds was their one in a life time opportunity to put into practice what they learn classroom setting and apply it in real life.</span>
