6th Grade
How did I get started in woodworking?
I started woodworking in 6th through a club at my middle school called the Design & Engineering Club (D&E). It was the first year the club was created so the teachers and students had to figure things out as we went. We were able to learn the basics of woodworking to create hand pulled soap box derby cars in teams and I really enjoyed the hands on nature of it. I continued being a member of the club throughout middle school and I was able to see the evolution of the projects as the we built upon previous year's designs.
How have I continued woodworking after leaving the D&E Club?
Throughout high school, I maintained contact with the teachers who ran the D&E Club and was able to visit to help out in teaching new members of the club how to woodwork. This allowed me access to the tools and materials needed to continue woodworking and working on my personal projects.
