Help me give my students the ability to create gifts and cards while "unplugging" from the digital world.

My Students
The students of my school are eager to learn new concepts and technologies. They are not used to having a lot and treat all new experiences with enthusiasm and respect. We have multiple classrooms that serve as regional classrooms for students with autism, emotional issues, and others. We also serve grades PreK-8.
We are a small community school which needs to update our views on how to use technology in education.
I am the librarian tasked with showing these students who live in low income areas to reach beyond their expectations to grab their dreams and realities. Our school has little to nothing in the STEAM world and we would like to change that.
My Project
A lot of my students are not able to buy presents for loved ones. This makes holidays a rough time for them. Students who are stressed about home life can be distracted from learning and act out during class.
The ability to make handmade gifts and cards will allow these students to learn a new craft while unplugging from the digital world they live in.
This will help alleviate the stress and worry that can accompany gift giving holidays and allow students to focus on learning while at school. Students will learn to take pride in making these gifts.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
