Edneyville Chomps their way to being Engineers

Help me give my students ChompSaw a kid safe way to cut Cardboard.

Mrs. Kat Edneyville Elementary School
Hendersonville, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

My elementary STEM students are overflowing with imaginative engineering ideas, but our current tools make it difficult to safely turn their cardboard designs into reality. To empower creativity, I am requesting two ChompSaws, a kid-safe power tool designed specifically to cut cardboard. This innovative, bladeless tool easily allows students to cut straight lines, curves, and shapes without the risk of cutting fingers, catching hair, or struggling with scissors. With this tool students can independently engineer more complex builds. Your support will foster their love of engineering, helping turn daily recyclables into extraordinary 3D masterpieces in a safe, fun, accessible makersspace environment.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
