Summer Academic Enrichment Eligible Programs

Goals

Introduce students to shop safety, metallurgy, and the fundamentals of using an oxy-acetylene torch to weld, braze, and cut. Students also practice spatial thinking, weights and measurements, and creative problem solving.

Activities

Discover scrap metal and learn to make sculptural projects from it using oxy-acetylene welding and metal fabrication techniques. This beginning-level camp will cover cutting, welding and brazing processes using an oxy-acetylene torch. Learn the limitations and benefits of these processes through the design and fabrication of your own work of art! Methods for identifying metals, surface preparation for scrap welding, along with aesthetic and protective surface treatments for finishing pieces will also be covered.
