Students will be introduced to machine safety, setup, operation and precise measurement skills – specifically how they impact modern wood and metal manufacturing. Material characteristics and properties of both metal and wood will be explored. Students will experience hands-on and practical applications of academics by working on projects in metal and wood.

Career exploration will include discussions of industry pathways in both woods and metals. An emphasis is placed on safety, quality work and proper hand tool and power equipment indentification and usage. Students are required to purchase safety goggles/glasses and pay a lab fee. In addition, students must purchase materials used in the fabrication of their projects.\
