My Project
What I love about my students is how they take pride in learning hands-on skills that prepare them for real careers. They show up each day eager to weld, build, and problem-solve—often going beyond expectations to improve their craftsmanship. What I admire most is their willingness to learn not just the trade, but how to do it responsibly. The air quality monitor will help them understand the importance of clean air in the shop. Scrap metal bins and recycling stations will teach them to reduce waste and reuse materials. Filtration masks will protect their health while reinforcing safe, sustainable habits.
We’re also requesting a YESWELDER Magnetic MIG Welding Torch Holder to safely store welding guns when not in use.
This small but powerful tool will prevent accidental drops, reduce cable clutter, and minimize the risk of damage or fire—all while helping students develop safer work habits and a more organized, efficient workspace. Every tool in this project is a step toward greener, cleaner, and smarter welding practices.
