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

My students are imaginative problem-solvers who love turning ideas into real projects. By providing Chompsaw cardboard cutters, I can give them safe, easy-to-use tools that let them design, build, and experiment while tying in STEM with art. These cutters will help my students explore engineering, architecture, and creativity while working on hands-on projects, boosting their confidence, collaboration, and critical thinking skills.

My students are curious, creative, and enthusiastic learners who are always eager to take on new challenges.

They love hands-on projects that let them express their ideas and work together as a team. With the cardboard cutters, I can give my students the safe, effective tools they need to bring their visions to life. These cutters will allow my students to design, prototype, and build models, encouraging them to think critically, solve problems, and collaborate with classmates. With these resources, my students will develop important real-world skills and gain confidence in their abilities as makers, inventors, and artists. I am excited to see what they can accomplish with these new tools!
