AMIkids Big Cypress students have been making great strides in their construction training by building picnic tables. The kids start out by measuring and cutting the wood in specific lengths and assembling the pieces and support needs to ensure the benches will hold the proper weight. Then they attach the legs and supports to the bench top. "These boys are learning so fast and are so eager to learn and work," said Mr. Vargas.
