Laser Focus to Engrave Skills
The addition of a laser engraver has enabled woodshop students to develop vital 21st-century skills by incorporating modern manufacturing techniques using CAD software. Students primarily use Lightburn, the software compatible with the engraver, alongside Canva to learn graphic design basics for project layout.
This technology has also empowered students to contribute to their school community by designing personalized name signs for over 60 site and district employees, helping them build customer service skills. Additionally, students created awards for the basketball team and end-of-year ceremonies. Beyond these projects, the laser engraver allows students to personalize their existing woodshop work, fostering greater pride and ownership in their craftsmanship.
