Students learned to design on paper and through CAD software, then construct their pieces using the woodworking process. Central to this class was that all projects were made for the benefit of the school community. Students were able to pick from a variety of requests from faculty, staff, and administration, then meet with their "client" to design. Once the design was approved, they proceeded to build their projects. Each project offered new learning opportunities in materials, joinery, finishing, design thinking, and other woodworking skills.

Projects include benches for FP archaeology, a stool for an 8th-grade classroom, a custom computer table/flexible desk for library archives, a lending library for First Program, shelves for the High School office, and a new desk for MS/HS admissions. Projects currently in the final stages (not pictured) include two custom podiums — one for an 8th grade classroom and the other for the theater. Most impressive is that these students were all new to woodworking, yet were able to build beautiful pieces that will live on in the school for years to come.
