My engineering students have realized that as they create solutions to real-world problems in their community, they need a sewing machine to develop their prototypes.
By having access to a sewing machine, my students can learn a skill for life while increasing their ability to create and be innovative as they solve problems using the engineering design process.
Whether it be to helping support their heavy backpacks, or creating storage solutions, having a sewing machine will help my students' ideas exponentially grow and continue to foster the development of their creativity.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
