Students Visit PINIE s.r.o. as Part of the “Skilled Hands” Program

This month, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students from schools across the Rakovník region visited PINIE s.r.o., a company specializing in the production of woodworking workbenches and wooden tools. The excursion was part of the annual “Skilled Hands” initiative, which regularly involves local elementary schools. During the visit, students had the opportunity to explore the production process and see how wooden products are made – from the initial material processing to the final product. They learned interesting facts about working with wood, the technologies used, and the skills that are essential in the woodworking craft. The excursion also included a talk with Mr. Miroslav Pecha, who captivatingly explained how a tree grows from a seed, how its age is determined, and the important role trees play in nature and human life. After the tour, each student selected a material from which they will create their own project during school woodworking classes throughout the year. In the spring, they will have the opportunity to submit their creations to the “Skilled Hands” competition, with the awards ceremony taking place at PINIE s.r.o. The excursion was not only an engaging addition to the students’ lessons but also an inspiration for their own creations, showing that working with wood can be both fun and useful.
