My Project

The introduction of a Cricut machine in the library makerspace will serve as a catalyst for fostering engagement, enhancing learning, and nurturing a vibrant community of young makers. It will also provide more ways to create interactive and eye catching displays and items for passive library programming.

The Cricut, a versatile cutting machine, will empower our creative students and staff to transform their imaginative ideas into tangible creations that will enhance student engagement.

With its ability to cut, write, and score a wide range of materials, the Cricut opens up a world of possibilities for creative expression through crafts, designs, and personalized projects.

A Cricut machine in a middle school library makerspace offers a multitude of benefits for students, ranging from unleashing creativity and enhancing learning to fostering collaboration and promoting literacy.
