Kawai(i) Display at Vex World Championship

Help me give my students art materials and decorations for my robotics team to create a beautiful booth to display at the VEX World Championship.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mishima-Donahue's classroom raised $539

This project is fully funded

My Project

My team feels extremely blessed to have been invited to the VEX World Championship. They will be competing and networking with other teams around the world to see who designed and engineered the best robot in the world to complete this year's game challenge. While competing is an amazing accomplishment and a great experience, one part of this competition my students look forward to the most is the booth decorating.

Decorating our booth allows my students to express who they are in a fun way and allows them to further their STEAM skills by using our laser cutter to create fun favors for guests who visit our booth.

My students look forward to using these decorations to create a visual display of art. They will also use the acrylic sheets and keychain rings to create laser cut keychains with our team number on a "kawai(i)" (cute-Japanese, from the ocean-Hawaiian) backdrop.
