My Project

Our aspiring engineers and woodworkers have a brand new home! They are thrilled to be in their new Think Tank Lab, and are looking forward to designing and creating amazing things.

Our divergent thinkers need to be surrounded by materials that inspire!

We have the raw materials we need to build with, now we need those "extras" that take a project from ordinary to extraordinary.

They will create their cardboard prototypes using the Canary and Foam Werk Cutters and then use the drill and drill press to help craft their final projects from wood! They will use the additional crafting supplies to personalize their creations. Overall, these resources will aid them when they are engaged in a design challenge and have to evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
