49er STEM Leadership Institute
Vendor
The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute, a magnet program, from Cabrillo Middle school has a group of 60 students involved in the Maker Lab Program. Students use the tools we have in the STEM ZONE (laser cutter, cutting machines (Cricut, Roland), laminators, CNC Routers, 3d printers, etc...) to create products that they have to market, replicate, and prepare to "sell" to the public. We feel when students have to present their items to a public audience, they are more motivated to create products that pop. (But, then again, they are middle school students, not all items would be things you would see on Etsy.)
