Mission Statement: 

Building on last year’s Music in Malawi project, our goal is to support vocational education in Malawi, Africa by creating and testing a simple guitar prototype that can be reproduced locally. We are working with the woodworking instructor at Kindle Vocational School to solve the final challenge of designing and constructing the neck and frets. This prototype will help instructors teach hands-on skills in carpentry and design and open up new opportunities for education, music, profit, and empowerment in underserved communities.

This project is part of Cal Poly's Appropriate Technology Class, Spring 2025
