I've wanted one of these Chompsaws since the first time I saw one. It is PERFECT for my growing Makers Space.\r\n\r\nThe Chompsaw is a little intimidating at first. We didn't have anybody around us to show us how to do it or how to make designs, so the children had to do a lot of research.\r\n\r\nKids had to draw the prototypes, make prototypes out of paper, make final materials lists, and then finally implement designs. It is a wonderful tool for the engineering process.\r\n\r\nHonestly, I'm shocked by the ongoing application of this process to the projects they've encountered in and out of school since we first got this machine. They want to build parts for projects to make them customized. Their ideas have been awesome! \r\n\r\nWhen the time came to consider making the gift we wanted to send to you, the students decided on a carnival game theme. Unfortunately, a lot of them worked really well, and they wanted to keep them, so we needed another project, which is when we found the helmet. \r\n\r\nAs soon as somebody found that, it was over. I printed it for them, and I bet I took about a hundred pictures of everybody putting it together. It took about a week to assemble, cover in layers of black construction paper and glue and then paint. The kids signed the inside proudly, we all hope you love it!\r\n\r\nAs this year draws to an end, my fourth graders that are rolling to be fifth graders have already requested that I have a building and designing club next year so that they can come back and use it again. After seeing the dramatic shift in complexity they experienced after making the helmet, I invested in a subscription to the inventors club that's offered by Chompsaw and I think that for future projects that 's going to make it a lot easier. \r\n\r\nI've described what they did, but it's hard to quantify the importance of pride for children. It is very important to feel like they personally thought of it, carried it out, and were successful. There is no shortcut to this. No one can do it for them. No one can make them do it. The only way to get that feeling instilled is to do the work, deal with the setbacks, and keep going ON THEIR OWN. That sentiment is what I believe to be the ultimate difference between low, performing, easily derailed kids and gritty children from the same environment that will stand up and be successful. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for pushing their ceiling a little higher,\r\n\r\nStanfield","fullyFundedDate":1765553286233,"projectUrl":"project/make-engineering-and-design-come-alive-w/9743619/","projectTitle":"Make Engineering and Design Come Alive With a Kidsafe Chomp-saw","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stanfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9435665"},{"teacherId":9880983,"projectId":9016215,"letterContent":"My students have enjoyed these books so much!
