Help me give my students the opportunity to explore creativity and innovation with 3D pens, colorful filaments, and art supplies. Your support will inspire hands-on learning, foster imagination, and make our classroom a fun and engaging.

Celebrating 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
I love my students’ curiosity, resilience, and eagerness to explore the world around them. They are excited to learn and discover new things, but many lack access to the tools that can ignite their creativity and understanding of technology. By providing them with 3D pens, colorful filament refills, art supplies, and a Cricut Explore 4 + Starter Bundle, I will bring innovative technology directly into their hands.
The Cricut Explore 4 will allow students to engage in hands-on projects like creating personalized designs, decorations, and learning materials.
This cutting-edge tool promotes creativity, fine motor skills, and problem-solving, while also introducing them to digital design and crafting—valuable skills for the future. When students see their ideas come to life through technology, they gain confidence and motivation to explore STEM and arts learning in exciting new ways.
Introducing these resources will empower students to become active creators and thinkers, not just consumers of technology. Giving my students access to these tools will foster a love for making, experimenting, and learning through doing. Your support will help open doors for them to develop skills that will serve them throughout their lives, and I am grateful for your help in making this possible. Thank you for investing in their future!
