The Ridgefield High School Arts and Technology Education Departments have teamed up to deck the halls, and give back to the community.
Jane Grassi’s Jewelry classes and Mike Murphy’s Product Design Class collaborated to create a tree decorated with student-crafted jewelry for the Ann’s Place Festival of Trees. Both classes take place in the RHS STEAM Shop and students were excited to work together. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.
Product Design students used their design, woodworking and 3D printing skills to create a tree to showcase over 30 earrings, bracelets, and necklaces created by Jewlery students. It was a great learning opportunity for students in both classes to design to suit the requirements of the event, communicate with a partner class, and express their creativity! The tree will be part of the Festival of Trees fundraiser to support Ann’s Place, which provides a variety of services to those living with cancer and to their loved ones free of charge.
