My students are constantly looking for opportunities to enhance their education. Our Electronics/Makers Club has created many interesting projects over the years but we have always been restricted due to material costs. By creating and manufacturing our own products we can build complex systems for cheaper and build necessary skills for the future at the same time. Programming a CNC machine and laser cutter will allow students to take their ideas from a possibility in their head to a reality in their hands. We are planning to use the laser cutter for engineering projects that the students will design as well as supporting instructional materials for labs. We will also be closely working with all other departments in the school to build custom orders as a fundraiser and school culture building activities.Examples are 3D and laser cut electrified ukuleles, portable blue tooth speakers, programmable robot chassis, scientific and architectural models, lab testing equipment, small business idea prototyping, plaques and awards, etc. This equipment will also provide a proof of concept for all of our middle schools making it a project that will have a huge multiplying affect throughout our district. Our students have projects ready and are eagerly waiting for your support. Thank you for your help in making these students dreams a reality!
