If you like making things, fixing things, and being competent with tools, you should always take as much Shop Life as you can possibly get your hands on! Here’s what we’ll be doing:
- Learning about tools and the skills to use them effectively and safely.
- Working on improving, organizing, stocking, and cleaning our ever-developing shop.
- Contributing to the school and our larger community with fixes, furniture, and projects.
- Completing projects that result in gifts you can give to yourself or others.
- Possibly learning about our new CNC cutting machine, when to use it, and for what. (If you wish to use this aspect of the shop, please understand there may be significant outside-of-class work to learn about drawing and preparing cut files)Outside work is elective and almost entirely voluntary in this class, almost never assigned.
