Well, this is the first post on our RepRap blog. Let's hope that there are many more to come. A big welcome to all the guys from Braes High School who are supporting the building of our own Rep Rap rapid prototyper. We've got a long way to go, but I'm sure that it will be an exciting and interesting journey.

What is the purpose of this blog?
This blog is intended to act as the public interface for a learning project which is being run as a collaboration between the Robert Clark Centre for Technological Education at the University of Glasgow and Braes High School, Falkirk. The project's aim is to build a fully functioning rapid prototyping machine which is based around the open-source RepRap project design.
The project team includes a number of S1 to S6 pupils at Braes High School in Falkirk who will work alongside staff from 'the Braes' and from the University of Glasgow during all phases of the construction and testing of the machine. The project is intended to be sympathetic to the aspirations of the Scottish Government's Curriculum for Excellence initiative by pursuing a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach and encouraging innovation, enterprise and reflection as key learning outcomes.
We would like to use this blog to promote pupil reflection on the issues that arise as they work on the project and wish to welcome contributes from anyone else who may be undertaking a similar project or who might simply want to ask us how we are getting on.
