The
Hobby Quest: Mission Craftsmanship
"Craftsmanship teaches children responsibility
and
respect for their creation."
Our mission is to enable children to learn
the life skills in order to become successful and emotionally
healthy adults. The Hobby Quest provides each student
with a clean and quiet environment to work, necessary
tools, materials, and patient, educated instructors, allowing
him/her to improve their craft skills.
The Hobby Quest teaches it's students:
1. To prepare for a task: Gathering necessary
information like reading the plans and instructions, gathering
the right tools, equipment and controlling the impulsive
desire to jump in headfirst.
2. To follow directions: This often means
acknowledging the expertise of others and realizing that
he or she needs instructional help with a task.
3. To tolerate frustration: A difficult,
new, lengthy and complex project will always go wrong
in small ways. A mature individual sees these obstacles
as temporary problems to be solved.
4. To know when to shift focus away from a compelling
task: Inherent in any significant undertaking
is the necessity of letting go temporarily in order to
rest and regain a fresh enthusiasm to a difficult problem.
5. To finish a project completely: It
seems to happen so often, that the attention to detail
demonstrated at the start of a project is abandoned near
the end.
6. Pride and respect in creation: A child
who has built a real airplane model or other hobby craft
project, one that works well, feels pride in ownership.
The use of the new model will give them a new, larger
self. Their successfully built and working project is
their own reward and self made trophy.
