My Project

An innovation lab space in the classroom would serve as a creative hub where students can transform their creative ideas into tangible prototypes! With access to hands-on tools and building materials, students would be empowered to explore problem-solving in a real-world context. As a new class, we have no shortage of innovative ideas, but we are extremely limited on supplies to turn those ideas into tangible prototypes--right now we are limited to paper and pencil, or digital tools.

The storage cart and building supplies I am requesting would encourage experimentation, collaboration, and critical thinking, as students brainstorm, design, and refine their ideas through the innovation cycle.

By turning their dreams into prototypes, students not only gain technical skills but also learn how to iterate on their designs, think like entrepreneurs, and approach challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset. This classroom-based lab would foster creativity and innovation, giving students the opportunity to see their amazing ideas come to life! Thank you for considering our classroom for your support. We would be so grateful.
