Project Description Country: USA Location: Boise Total Budget: $4,000 Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy Activity Type: Education: General Summary: Laser Cutter for making STEM class consumables for Reuseum Educational in Boise Idaho USA Reuseum Educational offers STEM classes to at-risk and low-include teens. Several of the classes have the student building a project, like a robotic hand. The project contains wooden pieces that are expensive to buy, but easy to make using a laser cutter. The goal is to reduce the consumable price by 75% to allow more students to participate in STEM classes. There are several opportunities for maker space oriented Rotarians involvement; initialize laser cutter setup and tuning, creating the computer files needed to program the laser cutter, helping create parts on a regular basis, helping students one-on-one in the STEM classroom, and even creating new classes for Reuseum to offer. The cost projections are for the laser cutter at $3,700 and a water chiller at $556. Reuseum Educational will be contributing to cover the difference between actual equipment price and the grant amount.

The additional item in your project is a water chiller with a bid price of $556. The DDF check for $2,520 will be payable to the Rotary Club of Boise. Matching funds from your club may come from your club foundation account. 31-Aug-17 by T. J. Adams System Entry: Check for DDF payment issued by Foundation Treasurer. 28-Sep-17 by Todd Fischer Jedd, Part of the agreement with Reuseum is they would cover any cost overruns. As the price of the laser cutter was bouncing around, it hit the grant $4000 limit at one point. Reuseum went and bought the needed chiller. Therefore, you will not see grant funds being used to buy a water chiller as mentioned in the description. Let me know if you have any concerns. 4-Oct-17 by Jedd Thomas The change to limit the use of grant funds to the purchase of the laser cutter and no longer fund the chiller is acknowledged and approved. 28-Nov-17 by Todd Fischer The laser cutter was purchased and delivered. The laser cutter will be installed in the next two months after the Reuseum building remodel is complete. The description of the actual item purchased was uploaded along with the receipt. 26-Jan-18 by Todd Fischer Steve Rodoletz presented to our Rotary club. The Reuseum had an opportunity to rent the adject building space. It was ideal for classroom use (with ADA bathrooms). The installation of the CO2 laser cutter was delayed until the building space was remodeled into a classroom. The CO2 laser cutter is now unboxed and located in the back corner of the classroom (see photos). The laser cutter is in good shape, needing calibration. More aggressive ventilation may be required as well for optimum operation. 10-May-18 by Marianne Barker This is to remind you that your final report is due May 15, 2018.
