My Project

I am looking for help purchasing a CNC Machine, spot laser, router bits, and accessories. These devices will enable students to create and customize amazing woodworking projects. I teach in a Title 1 Urban school. Our students are getting a new woodworking shop and we need amazing things for them to do. This machine would open doors and create opportunities for our students to use their creative minds to make beautiful projects.

We are hoping this tool will provide students with a lifetime worth of knowledge and power to create projects that could be both empowering and profitable.

We will be able to teach our students to use their imaginations to create projects and then build them with their own hands. This tool leads to endless possibilities for learning opportunities.

In the class we teach, it is a combination or general education and special education students. The playing field has been leveled and our students function as one cohesive group. Since this is a hands-on class, our students love the class and the projects they create.
