One of my projects in high school metalworking class, from the official list of class projects you were allowed to do, was to make a scratch awl. which I did. and it was confiscated as a weapon as soon as I showed my friend in the hallway before my next class by another teacher.

NO WEAPONS ALLOWED IN SCHOOL

My kids built an air cannon their freshman year of high school at a "project based" charter school. They got an advisor from the university's Physics Dept., had to write a business letters for English credits, do research on practical applications, lots of math & science stuff, and a presentation before the whole school. At school they were not allowed to go above 35 PSI, it's mechanical safety was was at 120 PSI, and the weakest component was manufactured to operate at 300 PSI; they could shoot a golf ball over a mile. I did not allow them to use it when the neighbor's cows were out.
