Wood working!
We're coordinating this with a group of home schooling parents. Joy's initial suggestion was: let the kids build little sculptures from scrap wood. I really like the simplicity of this, and it gives us ample opportunity to teach the basics: hammer & nails, how to use a saw, wood glue, glue guns, ...

Upfront Preparation
For us:
- Get feedback/ideas from LHS members: things to make
- Find good sources of scrap wood
For participants:
- Bring scrap wood. (This will give the kids some experience in logistics: where to find materials, how to transport them, etc.)
- Bring your own tools if you have them (hammers, pliers, ... nothing big/electronic pls), make sure you label them so they don't let lost
- If we find any unlabelled tools after the day we'll assume they belong to the Hackspace
Preparation for the day
- Stickers/labels for people's own tools (so they don't get lost)
- Collect tools the kids can use
- Hammers & nails
- Screws & screwdrivers
- Glue guns & glue sticks
- Saws (for older kids only)
- Prepare the Quiet Room, and the workshop area (work benches) for older kids
- And the usual checklist
Project Suggestions
Should be simple enough that it can be built in 1-2h.
