Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our classroom is on a mission to help children in need while developing valuable skills in technology, design, and entrepreneurship. I’m requesting funding for a XTool M1 4-in-1 Laser, an air filter, and an upgraded laser to enable our students to create projects for a special cause.

Students have been learning the XTool software, and they’re excited to apply their skills.

The XTool M1 is ideal, allowing us to work with materials like wood, acrylic, leather, and fabric. The upgraded laser will allow us to create more intricate designs, and the air filter will ensure a clean, safe workspace.

Our focus is on creating personalized items—such as jewelry and decor—to send to children battling cancer. These will be donated to organizations like the Liv Like a Unicorn Foundation, which supports children affected by cancer. This project gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a real-world context while making a positive impact on others.

The XTool M1 is perfect for our classroom because it’s versatile, easy to use, and ensures high-quality results. Our students have already mastered the software, making this machine the ideal tool to bring their designs to life.

By supporting this project, you’ll help equip students with hands-on experience in design and technology and contribute to a cause that brings joy to children and families in need. Your donation will directly impact our ability to create meaningful gifts and empower students to make a difference.
