Congratulations to Northbridge High School for their big win at the Eco-Carpentry Challenge 2019, taking home the Best in Class Small Shop! Mentors included John Greene from Margulies Perruzzi, Mike Maclean of Peabody Office, and Chelsea Snow of AIS (Affordable Interior Systems).
The Furniture Trust, a nonprofit committed to responsible reuse of unwanted office furniture, held its annual signature event, the Eco-Carpentry Challenge, designed to promote resourcefulness and upcycling while providing students critical skills. Used office furniture donated by local businesses was delivered to ten high schools where students had five months to use teamwork, imagination, and carpentry skills to transform these materials into new products, later donated back into the community.
