STEM Laser Project

Funded Nov 3, 2022

We were able to purchase a laser cutter/engraver with the donors choose money that was provided towards our project. Setting up this system was not that easy, so we were not able to start projects for several weeks because we had to get our computer techs to download a program on to our computer in order to use this product. Also the set up of the machine was also difficult. I did have a student locate the issue and use problem solving skills to figure out how we needed to fix the issue.

We were able to learn how to engrave on a metal dog tag and burn into wood. Our next project will be to engrave into plastic glasses for prom.

Another next step will be to create a wooden project for each student to be able to keep for themselves to take home.”
