Badging Lessons

Getting started with the ChompSaw? We’ve created a series of milestones and badges to help you guide students as they learn to use our machine. Each lesson introduces a new skill, like starting with simple cuts and curves, then progressing to more advanced concepts like precise measurements and design-thinking.
