Project Make
A 21st century shop class where students use state-of-the-art tools to make wonderful things.
Project Make offers a unique and exciting opportunity for students to explore, discover and create through a variety of hands-on projects and activities. We learn to use some of the coolest tools available for creating and inventing: a laser cutter, a vinyl cutter, multiple 3D printers, and multiple CNC machines. We also do interesting small group activities (for example, popsicle stick bridges, solar suitcases, tallest tower) and many hands-on activities including compressed air rockets. You have a chance to be creative with every assignment. There is no homework.
Project Make satisfies the practical art elective requirement for graduation and is open to all Analy students grades 9 through 12. Sign up for Project Make during online registration.
