Your support has made a meaningful difference in our STEM program.\r\nOur sixth graders are building a chair out of cardboard and the chomp saw and the canary cutters have transformed their workflow. They love using the chomp saw because it not only saves them time, but it also assists them in cutting straight pieces for their project, something that once stressed the students out. The seventh graders are building a candy dispenser where they have to use cardboard to create gears for their machines. They took on the challenge of cutting circles using the chompsaw. \r\nThe eighth graders are building a 3D stacked sculpture using cardboard, and it helped them so much as they had to cut identical pieces multiple times. Their new equipment made it manageable and also fun.\r\nThank you again for helping bring their ideas from paper into works of art.
