Storage Box

 We make alot of models in class, and the problem has always been what to do with "model making stuff."  Well,  my students have solved the problem...they designed and built their own "portable storage device."  Take a look at these, which represent the most durable and best designed boxes this year.  Great job everyone!

Project: Storage Box


As you already know, each student will be responsible for building a storage box for classroom projects.  (See specifications and sample model in class.)  The box shall be made of foamcore (supplied) and will have a removable lid.  Once constructed, each student will design/decorate their box (be creative!)

Happy Veterans Day

Thank you to all the veterans who have served our country both domestic and abroad.  We are forever indebted to your service, especially to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, and for the freedom of others.
