So you ask, what is a Steam Punk/Junk to Funk club? This club gives students the opportunity to create art from recycled metal, bolts, nuts, washers, small metal containers, etc.  Some completed projects are strictly 3 D art forms/ sculptures and some can be made into simple robots.  Totally amazing!

But in order to make this club work, we need resources.  If you have some things cluttering up your garage or work shed, here is the perfect use for them. We are in need of any extra nuts, bolts, washers (of any size) as well as the following items that you would be willing to donate to the club, it would be greatly appreciated.

Items:

Pliers (all types)             Work Gloves                   Hand Riveter                  Vice

Tin Snips                          Work Apron                    Hand Metal Punch         Hammer

Little Altoid-type Tins  Any Tin Cans                   Clean Soup Cans            Clean Pop Cans

Forks/Knives/Spoons  Kitchen Metal Strainers Wire                               Metal Hangers

Drill/Drill Bits                Light metal things you think the children could use

The kids are very excited, but we cannot do it without your help! Thanks to Ms. McEachern for bringing such a fun club to Park Manor.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact her directly.
