CO2 Race Car Building, Basic Woodworking
This class is taught by Eric Firman
In this course, students will build a CO2 race car out of wood while learning the proper use of tools and safety equipment.
As part of the STEM program, students will learn how efficient design affect the vehicle’s performance.
During this course, we will build the cars from a kit I provide using a drill, hacksaw, sandpaper, and wood file. I will also have the kids paint and decorate them. At the end of the semester, we will have a car race.
Using a race track the students will compete to reveal who created the most effective design. The winner will take home a trophy!
Throughout the semester we will discuss tips on how to make the car lighter, more aerodynamic, and how the forces of nature affect speed.
The goal is to allow students to apply concepts from physics with real-world application.

PRP Injections
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections are a cutting-edge treatment that uses your body's own platelets to promote healing and rejuvenation. During the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the targeted areas, stimulating collagen production and tissue regeneration. PRP injections are commonly used for improving skin texture and tone, reducing wrinkles, and treating hair loss. This natural and minimally invasive treatment harnesses your body’s healing powers for effective and long-lasting results.

What other educators are saying . . .
I had the pleasure of having her as one of the instructors in Drafting and Design department at ITT Technical Institute while I was a school chair. I was immediately impressed with her extensive knowledge in Revit which was the subject I needed an instructor for. Not only her skill was exceptional, her commitment for the job exceeded an expectation. I would recommend her with not hesitation.

There are those that sell stuff to make a living.
Then there are those that from their own research and experience solving problems for themselves have created a community by 'serving' others.
The latter is true for Eric and Fernanda at Suliss Water & Air."
