Routing early

This photo comes from our tour of Booker T. Washington High School a couple weeks back. Booker T. Washington is not your normal high school, they focus on the visual and performing arts. As we were walking through the shop and studio area I noticed this CNC router "trash". CNC routers, or lazer cutters, are becoming commonplace at design schools and they have changed the way students do their work and they are changing the caliber of work. I used the CNC router (computer numeric control router) at Texas A&M to create my Tao panel. I can't imagine having access to this resource back in high school. What a treat for these kids. I hope they take advantage of it.
