What skills will I learn?
You will learn how to operate shop tools and equipment. While at the same time build fun and exciting projects, and complete challenging assignments. You will learn the concepts of getting ideas from your head, onto paper, then into reality. In other words, how to design then build. You will learn how to safely conduct yourself in a shop environment. Most importantly, you will learn to take pride in a job well done and in your accomplishments (and get marks for doing it).
