Hello CR!
My friend began mentoring a Cincinnati, OH high school level robotics program recently, and they are trying to help these students get this program up and running. Just like all other schools right now, they don’t have the budget for many tools for the program.
That’s where CR can help!! :thumbup:
They are now looking to take the next step and the school is reaching out to get some dontated tools for the kids to be able to build their robots........
Do you know, or know anyone with some old machine shop tools, hand tools, etc. that they're willing to donate or get rid of cheaply?
Specifically:
band saws
drill presses
drills
any hand tools (screw drivers, sockets/wrenches, ratchets, etc)
tap sets
bench vise(s)
miter saws
Additionally, extra funds are always welcomed (AND tax deductible!), and if you'd like to contribute that would be great too!
It would be great if you would ship, but they can probably take care of shipping.......
Please contact Andy @ andy.ciarniello@CHCA-OH.ORG
Or, if it's easier, you can send me a PM and I will reach out to the right person at the school.
Here's the craigslist ad they've posted:

This is where organization that the school will be competing in --> http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms
Any tools will help these kids, and we thank you in advance for any help that you can give!
God bless, and Happy Holidays! :thumbup:
