My Project
Imagine a classroom where students don’t just learn about science, history, or literature — they build it. With your support, I’m creating a dynamic Makerspace where scholars can design, create, and innovate using hands-on tools and materials. This space will empower students to construct artifacts that deepen their understanding of academic content while also nurturing creativity, problem-solving, and entrepreneurial thinking.
From Cricut - Maker 4 Smart Cutting Machine, Cricut Maker 4 + Starter Bundle, 3D pens to circuit kits, crafting supplies to coding tools, the items funded through this project will help students bring their learning to life.
Whether building a model of a historical invention, designing a prototype for a STEM challenge, or creating a product to solve a real-world problem, our Makerspace will be a hub of exploration and ingenuity.
Beyond academic enrichment, this space will inspire young entrepreneurs by encouraging students to think like designers, inventors, and business leaders. With your help, we can give students the tools and freedom to explore their passions — and maybe even build the next big idea.
