Crescent Valley High School · Corvallis, Oregon
Building what a modern shop program looks like.
Digital curriculum, safety systems, and full-scale web projects — built by a CTE instructor using coordinated AI agents and zero frameworks.
See what we've built
Shop class shouldn't feel like 1997.
Students in our program don't dig through filing cabinets for safety manuals or wait for a handout to learn how insurance works. They open a browser. Every tool has a page. Every lesson has a home. Every procedure is searchable, current, and built for the way they already learn.
These aren't templates. They're purpose-built tools — and increasingly, they're built by one person directing teams of AI agents. The same methods that produce classroom curriculum can produce an entire district website in a single session.
See how it worksWhat I build.
Production tools, curriculum, and full-scale web projects — all live, all shipped.
CSD 509J District Website
One person dispatched 8 specialized AI agents in parallel to produce a complete school district website in a single session. Design system, data architecture, 10 pages, 13 school profiles, WCAG AA compliance — all from coordinated agents with zero framework dependencies. A proof of concept for what one builder can ship when the tools multiply.
Automotive Consumer Education
A 16-module interactive curriculum teaching students everything nobody teaches them about owning a car. Buying smart, reading a window sticker, understanding insurance, choosing a mechanic, total cost of ownership, negotiation, and more. Each lesson ends with a portfolio deliverable that builds across the semester.
Engineering Hub
A searchable, always-current reference for every piece of equipment in the program. Nine categories spanning metals, welding, automotive, CNC, woodworking, pneumatics, and maintenance. Students look up procedures on their phones before they touch a machine. Admins can see the full inventory at a glance.
CVHS Plasma Shop
Students don't just make projects for a grade. They run a shop. This portal lets them price real jobs, calculate material costs and profit margins, and submit applications for fabrication positions. Plasma cut signs, powder coating, LED backlighting, custom brackets. Real work for real clients.
Also in the program.
CNC Plasma Curriculum
A complete student guide for the Arclight/Hypertherm/SheetCam/CommandCNC workflow. From CAD file to finished cut.
View guide →FEA + 3D Print Lab
Predict with SolidWorks. Print on a Bambu P1S. Break it in a 3-point bend test. Compare simulation to reality.
View lesson →Predator 212 Rebuild
A print-ready small engine curriculum. Students disassemble and rebuild a 212cc from bare block to running engine.

A decade of building programs from scratch.
Andy McAteer teaches Metals & Fabrication and Small Engines at Crescent Valley High School in Corvallis, Oregon. Before CVHS, he built CTE programs in Colorado and Lebanon, Oregon — each time turning underutilized shop spaces into thriving programs with waitlists.
His approach is simple: give students tools that respect their intelligence. That means interactive digital curriculum instead of photocopied worksheets, searchable safety databases instead of laminated posters, and real enterprise projects instead of busywork.
Every tool on this site was built in-house, for the specific students in the program, and is used in class every week.
