Project Lead the Way - Parents Needed to Cut Shapes

Project Lead the Way is the new technology curriculum being use with the uppers this year. It is an introduction to engineering class. PLTW engages students in activities-, projects-, and problem-based learning, which provides hands-on classroom experiences. Students create, design, build, discover, collaborate and solve problems while applying what they learn in math and science.

Since this is a new program, I find that I am in need of some help with materials. One of the projects students do is to use one inch cubes and circles to create shapes and then draw them identifying hidden lines. We need a large number of one inch blocks, triangles and semi-circles for students to work with. We can supply the lumber but need any parents with table saw to cut them. We will bag and label them. Let me know if you are interested…need by the end of September.
