You need to create a new company logo. You will need to pay attention to some important details to create this logo. Before creating the new company logo and to help you understand the steps go to https://99designs.com/blog/logo-branding/how-to-design-logo/ and read article. Your logo can be created using any medium you want, pencil, colored pencils, pen, water paint, computer program, ect. When your logo is complete, take a picture of it with our smart phone or a screen capture using the snipping tool or something like it and email to to Mr. Smith.
Below are some steps you will need to consider when sketching out your new company logo.
STEPS
1. Understand why you need a logo.
2. Define your brand.
3. Find inspiration for your design.

8. Pick the right typography, if it has words.
9. Evaluate your logo options.
10. What not to do when designing a logo.
To read about information to help you understand the steps go to https://99designs.com/blog/logo-branding/how-to-design-logo/
2. Go to box.com and open week 12 & 13 folder, then open the contextual math folder and take the week 12 math quiz and hit submit. Notice, the answer example is a decimal answer. How do you convert a fraction to a decimal? Divide the top (numberator) by the bottom number (denominator). Example: 15/16 15 divided by 16 = .9375.
DON'T FORGET TO ADD THE " SIGN AT THE END OF EACH ANSWER
3. Update your ePortfolio.
All asignments due on Friday at 3 pm.

Reed-Custer High School Industrial Technology Students,
I have been following the Covid 19 situation like everyone else, but with the eye of an industrial technology teacher. I'm sure you are aware that many countries are having trouble getting the proper health care equipment to aid in the treatment of people with the virus. So, the healthcare systems are turning to the 3D printer communities around the world. 3D printing face masks, respirators, etc.
Here are some links to see what is being 3d printed around the world;

I have downloaded the face shield and mask STL files that is available online to be 3D printed. I ran the STL files through the PRUSA Slicer program we use at school, and 3D printed them on one of our PRUSA 3D printers. I’m so glad I took CTE courses in school, because it is helping me to run the kind of engineering software and high-tech equipment that is needed for the current situation. Check out the videos below of the mask and the face shield being 3D printed.
Stay safe and hope to see everyone one back at school soon.
