Our students are engaged in a carpentry class! They are learning a trade while building skills that they can use in their future careers and in life!
Our students have created birdhouses, cutting boards and raised garden beds! Check out pictures and videos of their work in the links below.

CUTTING BOARDS
Our students took on the art and craft of cutting boards. After identifying the design they wanted to pursue, they used a robot to cut the wood designs into the boards. They then sanded the boards and rounded the edges using a specialized power tool!
