My Project

Help the Innovative Design and Engineering Academy offer opportunities to build and create on campus. We want to offer activities involving crafting, wood carving and engraving, wood burning, and soldering. Students will be applying engineering and programming skills into their projects.

The hope is to allow students to get creative with tools and make things that are meaningful to them.

The materials requested will be used in Exploring Computer Science as an introduction to design thinking as well as the engineering courses. Other materials requested will help keep tools and materials organized so students can easily access.
