Creating With Cardboard

Help me give my students an opportunity to introduce them to the world of sculpture using recycled cardboard, an eco-friendly and creative medium that will inspire them to think about sustainability, create book characters or from their imagination.

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

Materials like cardboard cutters and cardboard cutting machines can greatly benefit students by providing them with hands-on tools to bring their creative ideas to life. With these tools, students can design and build their favorite book characters, allowing them to engage more deeply with stories and enhance their artistic skills.

Additionally, using these machines helps students learn important engineering concepts, such as design, structure, and problem-solving.

They can experiment with different shapes and constructions, fostering a deeper understanding of how things are built and function. By funding this project, you will help students explore their creativity while gaining valuable skills in reading, art and engineering!
