Smith Gilbert Garden Exhibit - Leaf Project - On exhibit now - Official Opening June 18th, 2019
A collaboration between 1st block and 4th block Introduction to Drafting and Design students, the Agriculture/Horticulture Department and Cameron Ragan (student designer) to create an interactive exhibit that helps explain photosynthesis to children. 800 reflective 1.5 inch diameter mirrors represent chloroplasts. As the colors change on the leaf panels, visitors can read about each phase in the photosynthesis process on the laser engraved acrylic plates located on each panel.

Welcome to the Wheeler High School Drafting and Design Website. Wheeler offers two CTAE pathways in drafting and design:
1) Architectural Drawing & Design Pathway - Architecture and Construction Career Cluster
2) Engineering Drafting & Design Pathway - Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Career Cluster
Both pathways share Introduction to Drafting and Design as a prerequisite. Students in the introductory course will be introduced to basic hand/board drafting, computer aided design, as well as model making utilizing our digital fabrication lab that houses a laser engraver, 3-axis CNC router, CNC mill and FDM 3d printer. Please click on the course links below for additional information and resources.
Software programs used in class include Autodesk 2017 AutoCAD, TinkerCAD.com, Inventor and Revit. Students may download these programs for free using the Autodesk Education Community Link below.
