We’re loving this GORGEOUS custom game board by CCM member Caroline! 😍
With help from a handful of other CCM members (Ryan, Nate, Bryan, Ed, and Benny), Caroline designed a model of this Tripoley board in Fusion and Blender, then used our CNC (plus lots of sanding!) to carve it out, then curved the top and bottom edges on our router table before finishing it off with the laser-engraved words.
This turned out so beautiful—great work Caroline! 👏 We can’t wait to see what you make next!

David, (@moonrabbit.woodworker) is one of our Woodshop Captains. He`s been working on these adorable pendants and keychains. What precise craftsmanship! What gorgeous shell inlay!
David used our CNC and laser cutter to create these pieces out of yellowheart, walnut, maple and cherry wood, with abalone shell inlay.
Great work, David! 👏

Congrats to our Math & Make graduates! 🎉
Last Friday, we welcomed more than 200 attendees at our Math & Make student project showcase. Thank you for joining us to celebrate these incredible students!
Over the course of the 6-week Math & Make program, our Robert Welter Fellows built core STEAM skills while learning to use equipment in each of our 3 shops to create a unique final project. Each of the helpful, expressive, lucrative, or transformative projects—ranging from a drone prototype to a custom guitar effects pedal to a music box to a recreation of a Mayan calendar—were created using donated, recycled, or repurposed materials, and represented a culmination of their learnings in the program.
Though Math & Make has concluded, several students already have plans for future projects, and every graduate was awarded a stipend plus a full year of CCM membership upon completion of the program. We’re so proud of our students!
