Help me give my students a Filter for our Laser Cutter to continue our powerful Craftivism.
FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Lahana's classroom raised $392
This project is fully funded
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
Boy this is a boring-- but essential-- donation for our Makerspace. Our laser cutter has been one of the most powerful tools in our Craftivism. Using the cutter we've created game pieces for our anti-marijuana games, LGBTQ+ clocks, Vape shops for our anti-nicotine animations, and much more.
Laser cutters are amazing tools, but create lots of smoke.
To combat the smoke, you attach a filter that cleans it up and provides a safe atmosphere for students. These filters lose effectiveness over time and ours is done. We'd love some help ordering a new one so we can get back to our social action!
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
