My Project

Please help me bring basic Engineering supplies into my classroom. In my classroom we build a variety of projects and we need supplies to help my students to bring their ideas to life. I am in need of basic supplies that I always seem to run out of. In an Engineering class we create a lot of hands on projects and it starts with the basics.

Intro to Engineering requires a lot of cardboard and specialized cardboard cutting scissors should really help the students achieve the desired design.

The students love making projects out of cardboard but unfortunately regular scissors get dull and are hard to use with cardboard. I would also like some art supplies such as paint, markers, and paintbrushes
