SEP Session 2, Day 4 Field Trip

Today students in “Imagination and Invention” visited a Charlottesville shoe factory! The students were able to speak with the inventor and owner of OESH Shoes, Dr. Casey Kerrigan, who has spent years researching and developing a shoe based on the motions of running and walking. In her factory, students explored the finished products as well as the complete process for creation. We observed Dr. Kerrigan's 3D-Printers that she and her team developed themselves in order to be able to create a new generation of shoe soles. We also were able to see how the team members attach the rest of the shoe to the soles and got a sneak peak at the newest shoe in their collection.
