My Project

The students have figured out how to use the Cricut to cut vinyl and make t-shirts, hats, and mugs. They would like to cut more rugged materials like leather and wood to create even more in-depth projects.

The students are very enthusiastic about the Cricut and all the things they can do about it.

For some students it is making it possible to make products that they can sell and that people admire which is an enormous confidence booster.

Using the Cricut is enhancing their problem solving skills because they really desire the end result so are willing to do the extra work.
