Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Laser printing and engraving allow students to create real-life products for their ideas. Students can develop art, models, products, etc. that will help them cultivate innovation and use their imagination. It allows our engineering students to attempt to solve real problems. By creating projects, they can adjust, correct, and update their designs.

The laser printer/ engraver will bring student designs to fruition to develop their own products!

Students can then analyze their models to correct and improve their designs. Ultimately, students will have a chance to design their own products, possibly for business.

Grades 9-12
