My Project

The Cricut machine was purchased in 2022 by an anonymous donor to provide a hands-on tactile outlet for STEAM techniques in grades 7-12. All students can take advantage of this gift, with class projects and fund raising ideas being brought to life.

The students love to see their dream projects take shape, and use the Scientific Method of trying new processes and experimenting on different fabrics and items.

If we can increase the amount of materials available, and the presses to apply their creations, the students can increase their tactile skills.
