My Project

I am hoping to get a button machine that will empower students to unleash their creativity, collaborate on STEM projects, and even create titles for various jobs. This versatile tool will serve as a hands-on learning experience, allowing students to design and produce their own buttons, integrating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into their projects.

Students love creating their own images and taking credit for their work.

I hope this project will give them an incentive to improve and work hard. Students can create their own design, but also have titles and jobs to work in groups.

The collaborative nature of button-making will enhance teamwork and problem-solving skills, while the creation of job titles will introduce students to diverse career paths. Your contribution will not only provide the necessary resources for this project but also inspire a love for learning and exploration in our students. Thank you for considering our endeavor and making a lasting impact on the educational journey of these budding innovators.
