FUSE Hosts Amy Biehl High School Interns
Chris Lueras (left), a student at Amy Biehl High School, had a passion for becoming a mechanical engineer. For his senior capstone project, he was informed by his academic advisor about a prior student who had done their project through FUSE Makerspace. This led Chris to reach out to FUSE, where he spent time learning and creating with many different pieces of equipment. He enjoyed the community-oriented nature of FUSE and wanted to base his project on bringing his school and FUSE closer together.
Chris created his capstone project for Amy Biehl at FUSE with the hope of encouraging more students to reach out to the program. Chris’s experience at FUSE led another Amy Biehl senior, David Franke, to do his senior capstone project with FUSE as well. David’s academic advisor had also informed him about FUSE, just as Chris was finishing up his time here. Like Chris, David is interested in the engineering field and wants to learn as much as he can, with a desire to be able to both design and manufacture. David wants to learn as much as he can and is optimistic about the possibilities of coming on this path to make his capstone project.
