Objective: Construct a DIY lockbox

Students will use basic carpentry skills to build their very own DIY lockbox. Students will have the chance to unleash their creativity by decorating their lockboxes, turning them into unique gifts or stylish household accents.

• Besides a lockbox, what can people use to keep things private or safe?
