The Set-Up

In early 2020, the plan was to set the lab up as the equipment came in. This plan, however, ended up changing drastically come March 2020, due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. However, in November 2020, Life Scout and Senior in the Class of 2021, Grace A., proposed to set up the lab and work on organizing the materials as part of her Eagle Scout Project. Follow through the slideshows and supplements below to see how the lab took shape over the course of 4.5 months.

The presentation below is Grace's proposal to the Workforce Grant Planning Committee. This presentation continues past just the proposal to some of the Plan and the Report from the project as well.
