Middle School Industrial Technology students are gaining hands-on experience as they learn how to safely and accurately use scroll saws. As their first project on this machine, students are designing and fabricating custom keychains, allowing them to practice precision cutting, tool safety, and basic fabrication skills.

This introductory project helps build confidence while reinforcing important concepts such as measurement, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Students are excited to see their designs come to life as they continue developing practical, real-world skills in the Industrial Tech classroom.
