[00:00:04.041]So, all my students from Vertical Construction here at the Durham School,
[00:00:08.250]we are building ten sheds, and all the sheds are going to be sold.
[00:00:12.083]And the profits are going to go to Bridges To Hope
[00:00:14.250]that they are building Hope Village.
[00:00:18.708]It’s a village very close to campus where they're building 18 houses,
[00:00:23.125]in this village for people that are leaving the prison system.
[00:00:27.250]We have people that are buying the sheds
[00:00:29.541]and all the money raised are going to Hope Village.
[00:00:34.375]Hey, is that thing off? What?
[00:00:36.333]I'm pretty sure all of us here are pretty excited.
[00:00:38.041]It's our first time we get to actually build something here at the university.
[00:00:40.291]Getting to use power tools and going to use
[00:00:43.125]having access to the 3D printing room for different things we want to design.
[00:00:45.958]And I think this is a great time for us to be out here
[00:00:47.791]and enjoying the outside weather and building.
[00:00:52.500]We actually train all the students.
[00:00:54.125]So, all of them got trained in every single power tool that they needed.
[00:00:59.458]All the all the trails,
[00:01:01.166]all the table saw, miter saw, nail gun. All of them got trained.
[00:01:04.833]So, that way, now they feel comfortable.
[00:01:07.375]They feel they can be part of the field and they feel that they belong
[00:01:11.000]in the classroom.
[00:01:14.791]We get to use a state of the art building behind me.
[00:01:17.041]All the professors here are very professional.
[00:01:18.750]They're try to get you ready for your career field
[00:01:20.666]that you're going to go into.
[00:01:23.583]I think it feels great that we're able to help the community.
[00:01:26.666]It is going to be like, wow, I actually did something
[00:01:28.625]for the community and helped out in
[00:01:30.208]ways that I didn't think was possible when I came to Nebraska.
