My Project

I love teaching this class. Our students are able to unlock their inner creativity.

This Trimester we have requested water bottles - the students will create unique designs on their water bottles using our sublimation process.

The drawstring backpacks are another exciting addition. Our DIYers will make uniquely designed logos to be displayed daily on their backpacks. What a better way for students to feel good about themselves than showing off their own designs. The Coopay Home Decor Squares will be a special gift with an extraordinary motif for mom or dad to hang up at home. The projects they produce are unique and amazing. It is wonderful to be able to give our students a break from the academic rigor and see them flourish in this hands-on environment. All the while learning technologies that will serve them well into the future. Students will use software to design and create their own projects on various materials. They will be using ink jet and sublimation technologies to create one of a kind designs for themselves, family and friends.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
