FABLAB interns & Holiday Hope
FABLAB students brought Holiday Hope to life by specialized holiday ornaments for the CHHS staff members and bold Eagle Pride earrings, each piece shaped with care and purpose. Every dollar raised flowed directly back into supporting Holiday Hope, extending the spirit of giving far beyond the workshop. The entire initiative—from the first sketch to the final sale—was envisioned and carried out by RISE interns with the engineering directors advisement, showcasing their creativity, leadership, and commitment to their community.
