In grade 9, students make a toolbox that goes on a keychain which can be opened and has a inner tray. Mr. Thor explains that while it’s called toolbox for tools, you can likely put anything you want. Students will bring them home the projects if they would like to. It’s only required to be kept at school for a short amount of time after due date for marking purposes.

Turning into the advanced classes, students even build boats that will be sold for profit. With the help of money gained, students can take on larger projects such as canoes.
