The Walder Science Woodshop invites boys Grades 5 – 8 to learn basic wood working and carpentry technique. Boys practice and learn how to properly use basic tools in wood working projects. Beginners and advanced students (our regulars) work at their own pace under the instruction of our expert carpenter, Mitch Ehrlich. Participants complete a project (such as a tzeddakah box or tabletop shtender) that they can take home at the end of the session. We only use hand tools, instead of power tools, in the interest of safety. This is a great way not only to learn wood working and have fun, but also for the development of fine motor, visual, kinesthetic, and spacial learning skills.
Dates: The spring program runs for eight sessions, March 13 – May 25. There will be no class April 3 – April 17 for Pesach and May 8-9 for Lag B’Omer.
