My Project

My students are amazing and creative. They love taking classroom items and creating things. From marble mazes to drum sets, my students have engineered amazing things from random classroom items. With these Chomp Saws they will be able to make precise cuts out of cardboard boxes to build actual functional pieces.

The Chomp Saw is safer and more accurate than scissors and encourages the use of real world engineering techniques.

Students will be able to use the engineering design process to create larger projects than they are capable of using just ordinary classroom scissors. They will leave STEM feeling like true engineering masters.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
