At Coal City Middle School, students are engaged in a “Leave the technology behind” exploratory. Through this unit, students focus on learning new skills by using fine motor skills and training the brain and the hands to work together. Students are learning to sew buttons onto material and create basic stitches in sewing. Some students are even repairing clothing and bags by learning the stitching techniques for sewing. Other skills in this section include crocheting, sculpting, painting, and building using plans and designs.
