Pisay.XYZ: The Maker Club of PSHS Main Campus

Roadmap Delivery of large-form CNC table

Vinyl cutter?

Formal establishment of links to FabLab network?

Larger community access? What level?


Issues and Opportunities

Room has no service entrance for large equipment

No soundproofing

Material sourcing and funding dependent on school budget two years into the future

Linkages to other laboratories still being established

Creativity trials with TRIZ (thanks to Engr. Irving Guerrero, PSHS Class of 1971-B)
