Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The Glowforge Aura powerful laser can cut, engrave, and score materials bringing ideas to life in minutes.
By bringing one into to the classroom will add a new dimension to student learning.
Its powerful laser can cut, engrave, and score materials bringing ideas to life in minutes. The only limit will be the limits of our students' imagination.
We can use a Glowforge to create personalized rewards that students have earned, items for the community, art, and computer-generated designs into 3D math models. If we have a Glowforge, we can turn students' ideas into reality at the push of a button (literally).
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
