The Chompsaw has become a highlight of our Create Station, where scholars get hands-on with engineering concepts and design challenges.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was instant—students' faces lit up the first time they saw the Chompsaw in action. They couldn't wait to start cutting, shaping, and building their own creative ideas. Each week, they're growing more confident with their engineering skills, and many can't wait to go home and tell their parents what they've learned that day.\r\n\r\nAs we move through our structures curriculum, the students are already looking ahead to our big end-of-year project. They'll each research a famous structure from around the world, then use the Chompsaw to create their own replica—bringing their learning to life in a way that blends creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on construction.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide materials—it built opportunity, inspiration, and a love of engineering in our classroom.
