Boards

Our first major project of the year in 7th grade (CTE Intro) has been to design and make a board. Students can choose between a skateboard, snowboard, surfboard, wakeboard, or longboard. Each board is about 8" x 24" and made out of MDF. The process is the following.

Trace a template, cut out the board using a jigsaw, finish off the shape using a sander and sandpaper, paint at home, and then apply vinyl that is designed and cut in class. Very fun project with excellent results.
