As we head into the 2017-18 school year, we are excited about having a new group of Fusioneers ready to start their journeys.  New personalities, new expertise, and new dreams all make this an inspirational time in the year as we all get to know each other.

Technically, the year began for us back in June when we left town for a few days to hang out at Cheakamus Centre just north of Squamish.  We talked about design thinking and put our collective heads to the task of solving (or at least start solving) a number of problems.  We then headed to Makerlabs in Vancouver to spend a day learning the basics of rapid digital prototyping and CAD programs.
We hope that you will follow our journey this year through our blogs.  This blog is written by the Fusion teachers and will outline our perspective on the progress of the year.  Our new year's resolution is to update this more regularly than we were able to last year.  More importantly, the students will be writing their own blogs and talking about what they are working on and thinking about.  The blogs are listed under Student Portfolios to the right-hand side of this blog's home page.  We encourage you to read and comment on the blog posts throughout the year.  Nothing is quite as motivating as knowing that others are actually reading what you are spending your time writing!
