Sierra Expeditionary Learning School

Truckee Roundhouse has partnered with Sierra Expeditionary Learning School (SELS) to work on creative projects that make a difference in the world.

In 2018, a group of 21 eighth graders learned tool usage and techniques to fabricate butcher blocks, picture frames, ceramic mugs, and wooden coasters that they sold to raise funds for an African village water system.

In 2019, 23 sixth graders came together to create a year-end school public art piece about climate change. Students learned how to use wood shop tools, metal shop tools, CNC plasma and laser wood engraver to create a multi-medium art piece.
