Your generosity made it possible for my Exploring Technologies students to take on a project they were truly excited about—forming the metal roof for the toy trains they are designing and building. For many of them, this was their first time working with real metalworking tools, and they were eager for their turn at the bender.\r\n\r\nBefore making their bends, students had to measure and mark the roof panels with precision. This gave them valuable practice using a steel ruler, measuring in millimeters, marking accurately, and using a square to draw straight lines. Once ready, they aligned their marks with the bender blade, clamped the sheet metal, and pulled the handles to form the roof. It was a great hands-on experience, and students immediately saw how their accuracy—and effort—paid off.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping create an engaging, meaningful learning environment for junior high students.
