Walnut Park Elementary Grade 6 and 7 students had a chance to show a board is not just a board with a week-long woodworking project.
Teachers Melanie Anderson, Sandra McAulay and Andy DeBoer had kids use the Northwest Community College maker space to transform a three-foot, 1x6 board into projects as varied as a ping pong table, birdhouse (with a spot for a bird TV), trucks, and BB gun targets.
