Access At CVUHS

Have you ever been curious about how to use CAD software to design and model an idea? Or, how to set up and use a 3D printer and/or laser cutter/engraver to bring those ideas to reality? Join Andrew Scott, one of CVU’s Design and Engineering Technology teachers, in exploration of the CVU Design Lab and learn a new hobby and even start a business! During this 4-session course we will explore how to approach basic modeling skills to design and fabricate at least one project using the 3D printer and one using the laser cutter/engraver. Possible projects may include a holiday-themed decoration, cookie cutter, and ornament or set of wooden coasters. All materials and access to CAD software are included in the fee. Requirements/Restrictions: Fluency with basic computer interface and usage tools. If you're wondering whether this class is right for you, please send us your questions and we will connect you with the instructor. Min Age: 18+

Woodworking drop-in sessions are designed for those with prior woodworking experience that would like use of the CVU woodshop and tools to work on projects independently or with supervision. Participants may bring in their projects and use the shop during the allotted timeframe. Projects will need to be carried in and out of class. Each class will be supervised by Andrew Scott, CVU Woodshop instructors. If you have not taken a woodworking Access class previously, there will be a brief overview of the safety guidelines, protocols, and layout of the shop at the beginning of each session. Enroll in one or as many open sessions as needed to complete your project! Safety Requirements: Wear closed toed shoes, hat or hair tied back, and bring your own protective eye wear/goggles. No loose clothing or accessories! Minimum age requirement: 16+ Prior registration is required for each drop-in session. We will make a decision, based on enrollment, to cancel or run the session 3-days prior to the drop in date. You will be notified by email and our website will be undated.
