After-school Program Workshop Supplies



How to Get Supplies:
After-schools programs may use existing parts, tools and supplies, order them on line or contract with Build-It-Yourself to buy and ship appropriate supplies.

All Projects:
All projects require 1 computer per 3 students with high speed access to the Internet and PowerPoint installed.  An additional computer with a Webcam and speaker/mic set is required for the workshop manager.  (See Webcast Support)

Construction Projects:
The basic tools and supplies below are used in all construction workshops.  Most can be purchased on line or at a local craft or at a hardware shop.  Many schools may already have these supplies.

Specific parts are required for various projects.  LEGO projects will require an investment of less than $1500 to serve classes of 12 students over many workshop series.  Non-LEGO projects will require an investment of between $100 and $1000 depending on the project.

Virtual Projects:
Virtual projects such as Scratch, Web Design, and Digital Media Design use freeware in addition to PowerPoint.
