Norbert Axtmann

A typical scene in Norbert Axtmann's drafting class at Acton High School in Acton, Ontario, looks like this: two students are building a bicycle out of recycled parts; two other students are creating a 3-D computer simulation of long-gone Acton buildings; and another student is doing an interior design for a townhouse. Thanks in part to computer-aided drafting, Mr. Axtmann has generated a real fire for learning in his drafting students.
