My Project

Students will explore industry-standard applications, such as AutoCAD, Fusion 360, and SketchUp. The goal is to guide them through the entire design-to-creation process, culminating in producing a tangible artifact. This hands-on experience bridges digital tools with real-world applications, enhancing their understanding of design and manufacturing principles.

We will familiarize students with professional drawing and design tools commonly used in the industry.

We will

Introduce them to CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology fundamentals, providing practical insight into product creation from concept to completion.

My students are remarkable for their eagerness to learn and explore new challenges. Recently, they completed a trimester where they mastered essential Chromebook repairs, including screen replacements, battery swaps, and hinge fixes. This next step builds on their growing technical skills, allowing them to use advanced tools and processes to expand their potential.
