The reform of labor and technical education has led schools to pay increasing attention to labor and technical training, and the learning of labor and technical skills is one part of this. Through labor and technical learning, students develop correct labor values, good labor habits, and good qualities, becoming new-era talents who can work, know how to work, and love work.

As a process-oriented comprehensive quality assessment, labor education focuses on examining the process and performance of students’ labor practice. It cannot simply be evaluated by examinations like Chinese and mathematics. Through labor and technical learning, each student’s gains and growth—such as improvement in labor skills and the formation of labor habits—should be assessed.

What equipment is needed to create a maker space laboratory in primary and secondary schools, or how it should be designed, is also a field of knowledge.

Xiandao has long explored the integration of education and industry and has rich experience in integrating education with industrial skills. Xiandao Digital focuses on desktop machine tool equipment, supports the cultivation of “flexible” intelligent manufacturing talent, and is a senior source manufacturer that has been deeply engaged in products for 20 years. Its products are sold in domestic and overseas markets and have penetrated multiple industries. They mainly serve primary and secondary schools, campus makers, metalworking, woodworking, primary and secondary school labor and technical education, and other campuses. Xiandao has worked with schools in deep and long-standing exploration of new approaches to skills education.

For the construction plan of a labor and technical education (woodworking) room, it is recommended to add the following machine tool equipment and tools.

Basic hardware: classroom tool wall, tool cabinet, and student desks, chairs, and stools.

Cleaning and safety protection are indispensable, so that students can not only improve their skills and techniques but also learn daily labor at the same time.

Tools, instruments, and equipment are the focus of primary and secondary school labor and technical maker laboratories:

The miniature student safety machine tool is a miniature machine tool developed since Xiandao began exploring education. This student safety machine tool is miniaturized and modularized from an industrial-grade machine tool prototype. It features a small size, variable structure, light weight, small footprint, and a wide range of processable materials. It uses a 12V safety voltage to provide safety protection from the source. The saw blade of the Xiandao sawing machine has a unique safety design that cuts only materials and does not injure hands, greatly improving the safety factor for students using mechanical equipment.

The standard lineup of Xiandao student safety machine tools includes eight models: metal sawing machine, metal router, metal lathe, metal drilling machine, metal grinding machine, metal milling machine, metal indexing drilling machine, and metal handheld machine tool. At the same time, through numerous components, more machine tools with specific functions can be derived to meet special processing requirements.

Although primary and secondary schools have added various small and miniature woodworking machine tools when establishing maker space laboratories, they still need to add some medium-to-small machine tool equipment.

Small precision woodworking lathe, suitable for relatively large wood.

Small precision woodworking drilling and milling machine, suitable for relatively large wood.

Laser engraving machines are excellent creative devices for maker DIY. With the precision and speed of laser cutting and engraving machines, your ideas can be realized faster and more conveniently.

Finally, add consumables and materials such as wood boards and round rods required for the course.

The metalworking and woodworking labor and technical room designed by Xiandao will provide basic teaching resource courseware, helping teachers adapt more quickly and find teaching approaches.
