Jr. ADST Toolboxes
The Careers team has been working hard to create Jr. ADST Toolboxes for all of our elementary schools. Each toolbox has 12 totes, each tote contains all of the tools needed to complete all of our Jr. ADST activities. All resources needed for building can be ordered from Careers@sd71.bc.ca and additional in class support or guidance are available upon request.

Jr ADST Seasonal Projects
Supplies for our seasonal projects get sent out to teachers during the fall and spring. Due to the size of the supply bundles we do a scheduled pick up date rather then interoffice upon request for these projects.

Additional ADST Projects
These projects are available upon request while supplies last. Contact careers@sd.71.bc.ca to request.
Some supplies are too large for interoffice pick up and will be placed in our storage locker for you to pick up.
Phase Two: Students Designing and Building
Once students are comfortable with using hand tools you can request materials and have students design and build their own projects.
Students will be given a project goal and they will need to design and share out their ideas. Students will need to focus on finishing details to make a final product square, smooth, accurate and fit the design purpose.
Dawn Anderson (if requested) will come in, listen to, and provide feedback on project ideas. Dawn will provide building materials based on student designs.
