Laker Impact
Laker Educational Foundation wants to support our students in a variety of ways, and Laker Impact is an avenue to make a significant difference for a specified project or program. We actively fundraise to support the Laker Impact Grant Request.
We are looking for a 2024 project. Consider filling out the grant application and mention the Laker Impact Grant.
All ideas are considered and the determination will be made by the LEF Grant Committee.
The Laker Impact for the 2022-2023 school year is a collaboration with Prior Lake High School's Industrial Technology Education Department.
We are supporting them in raising money to make meaningful improvements and equipment purchases to their Metals Lab division.
Our goal is to raise $15,689 to purchase the following items:
2 Lincoln MP Welders ($5,800)
The multi-process function of this tool allows the instructors to change the tool between SMAW/GMAW/GTAW- the three major welding processes used in the classroom. There are currently 8 welders and their goal is to have 15 welders by 2025.
Baileigh 7’ Downdraft Table ($7,139)
Repurpose welding table for grinding. This equipment is used to secure objects that have been welded to a table so they can be safely ground down and pull out excess grinding dust. It is desired as both a safety measure and a way to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of the craftsmanship done by students in welding courses.
Rhino Cart Mobile Fixturing Station ($2,750)
The fixturing table is used by teachers during demonstrations and students to secure materials while welding. There is currently only one, limiting the use for students and instructors alike.
