Woodshop Students Build Coyotes to Scare Geese Away
Justin Dalli remembers the first thing he ever built.
“When I was about 10, I bolted wheels to a pallet and just drove it down a hill,” Justin, a Carmel High School sophomore, said. “I managed to not get hurt.”
Justin is one of a group of creative woodshop students who built coyote silhouettes to help scare geese off Carmel Central School District fields.
“I call them ‘the crew,’” said Technology Teacher Don Saldico. “These are the kids who come into the woodshop in their free time because they like to make things and fix things. They are a tremendous help to us.”
The crew made the coyotes using the Computer Numerical Control machine, or CNC, in the woodshop classroom, said Don Saldico, a technology teacher.
