Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

For the last six years our robotics team has been growing in numbers, and skill levels. We work mainly with aluminum and after cutting pieces to length have to get rid of the sharp edges.

We need to have a better way to clean up our stock than just a file.

These items (grinder, wheels, and stand) will make these tasks much more efficient, and save us significant time for years to come. They will also help us to maintain a sharp edge on our other tools, making for a safer working environment.

Mr. Reisner
Grades 9-12
