Thanks for stopping by U Make This Stuff! Everything   you   see   on   this   site   was   made   with   the   use   of   computers,   related   technologies,   and   simple   tools.   For   years   I   have   helped   thousands   of students   learn   to   use   computers   and   other   technologies   through   engaging   activities   that   go   beyond   simple   presentations   to   include   design,   cost analysis, production, and marketing. As   a   teacher,   I   was   frustrated   by   the   approach   most   school   systems   were   taking   in   teaching   computer   skills;   so,   I   began   developing   my   own   line   of curricula   to   engage   students   in   enjoyable   activities.   Each   activity   teaches   skills   that   are   relevant   to   situations   students   will   encounter   now   and   as adults. Every career requires the use of tools, skills, and specific vocabulary. My   curricula   also   focuses   on   soft   skills   including:   team   activities   that   require   division   of   duties,   management   policies,   work   records,   design,   and manufacturing of products. The goal is for students to understand how the real world operates outside the classroom walls. My   not-for-profit   company   partners   with   schools   to   offer   the   Nauxware   (”know   ware”)   curricula   to   teach   skills   that   will   help   students   throughout their   lives.   For   the   first   time   ever,   I   am   making   the   activities   available   outside   the   classroom   to   individuals   that   support   my   mission   to   help   young people   learn   to   use   technology   as   the   tremendous   tool   it   is,   not   just   a   toy.   The   donations   received   will   help   me   continue   to   offer   the   Tech-Now program   to   students.   Donors   can   request   an   activity   kit   as   a   gift   from   me   to   you   for   your   support.   Just   check   the   Gift   Store   to   see   the   suggested minimum donation amounts. All   of   our   products   are   developed   and   manufactured   by   me   and   my   team   here   in   the   U.S.A.   Over   the   years,   I   have   helped   thousands   of   students learn usefull STEM skills, and with continued support I will help many more.
