When Zach Lapointe signed up for carpentry class, he assumed he would be working on smaller projects — he is in high school, after all.
But the project list was different this year.
“Building a full-scale house — I mean, that was a surprise,” he said. “But a welcome one and it’s pretty fun.”
The carpentry program at Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside is building a tiny home. Plans call for it to be 16 by 20 feet, modern-looking, with a bathroom and solar panels.
“Most of them are really buying into this and are really enjoying this experience,” said Robert Corkum, the carpentry instructor at the school.
“The students basically do everything here.”
