In my carpentry class, students are earning their tools through my "Earn Your Edge" toolbox program. As part of this initiative, I am requesting construction calculators, which will be a critical addition to their learning environment. These calculators will allow students to master complex measurements and calculations essential for construction work, such as area, volume, angles, and conversions.
This isn't just about numbers - it's about teaching the students the professional standards of carpentry and giving them the tools to perform at a higher level.
With your support, students will earn these tools by passing their national carpentry certification exams, reinforcing both their understanding of math and its practical application in construction. These calculators will not only benefit them now, but will prepare them for future careers where accuracy and skills make all the difference.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
