My Project

Our students have been bitten by the button making bug! After making buttons for International Dot Day, they've requested that button making become a regular activity during our weekly Makerspace Mondays. We have button makers, but will need more button making supplies to make this happen.

This project will give our students a round punch and plenty of button making supplies so they can design and make their own buttons.

As they learn how to use the equipment, students will have opportunities to be creative and solve problems as they design their own buttons that they'll wear with pride.

Thank you for showing our students that their voices are heard and for helping them to have high interest, motivating tools to grow their creativity and develop real-life critical thinking skills that will benefit them for years to come.
