Every student is required to complete the welding project. The project is an individual assignment and is due by the end of day on Wednesday, December 19th.
- The completed project must be placed in the designated area in the Design Den Shop
- the students' name written clearly on blue tape on the completed project
- all phases of the project including photos documenting final project must be posted in each student's digital notebook (full credit will not be awarded if final picture of completed project is not present).
**Students should not be rely on class time to complete the welding project. Class time will be allocated to start the project, however, class time will not be sufficient to complete the project. Students should take advantage of after school work time on Mondays and Thursdays, Tuesday lunch & flex, as well as additional Design Den open lab hours (see calendar) to complete the project. Allow approximately 80 - 120 minutes to complete project pending how quickly you pick up welding.
Project Challenge: Students will be making a pen/pencil, highlighter, scissors, etc. desk organizer (see pic).
Students will be making a pen/pencil, highlighter, scissors, etc. desk organizer (see pic).
Project specifications:
- All metal will be 1/8" thick
- All sharp & rough edges must be removed
- Base plate is 3.5" x 3.5" square
- 3 pieces of the tubing that will hold pens, pencils, scissors, etc. should be centered on the base plate
- 2 pieces of 1.5" square tubing will be used to make one side of the desk organizer. Each should be cut at different angles and different heights. Minimum height is 1.5" and maximum height is 4"
- 1 piece of 1.5" x 3" rectangular tubing will be used to make the additional side of the organizer. Top of this piece should be even (no miter). Height range 1" minimum and 4" maximum.
