My Project
At our elementary school, creativity flows in our visual art studio, especially in the popular Construction Zone, where students bring their original ideas to life using cardboard. Unfortunately, working with cardboard often involves the risk of using tools with sharp edges, or with tools that are difficult for small hands, which can be a concern for safety. That's where the Chomp Saw comes in!
The Chomp Saw is a cutting-edge device that safely punches through cardboard without any sharp edges.
It’s a tool so safe, even a preschooler can use it. With this device, our young artists can safely cut and create their cardboard designs.
This grant will fund the purchase of one Chomp Saws for the Art Studio. With these tools, students can work independently in the Construction Zone, confidently crafting their designs and taking their projects to the next level. By making safety a top priority, we’re empowering students to explore their creativity without limitation.
Your support would allow us to bring this innovative tool to the hands of our young artists, helping them safely express themselves and develop their skills in a supportive, creative environment. Please consider helping us bring the Chomp Saw to our Art Studio, so our students can continue to make art with confidence!
