Students at Town & Country Elementary got to take part in a little holiday cheer and decorate gingerbread men cookies. But, these were not any ordinary gingerbread men. Buena Culinary students made the cookies using cookie cutters that were designed and printed by Buena Engineering students using a 3D printer. Once the template was created, it traveled to the Auto Shop and students used their metalworking skills to make the cookie cutters. The cookie cutters headed back to the student’s kitchen where the dough was rolled out and baked. Buena Culinary students then headed to Town & Country with the giant cookies, candy and frosting and worked with the elementary students to decorate the gingerbread men.
Everyone had a blast and the first graders were so happy to have the big kids come to their class and work with them. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this holiday cheer happen!!!
