The finish line is in sight! Besides sanding and painting, the bike-building students from the McClymonds Engineering Academy learn one other necessary skill – perseverance!

The Crucible offers classes and workshops in industrial arts for youth. It’s located at 1260 – 7th Street in Oakland, near the West Oakland BART station. For more information: thecrucible.org
