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
Our fourth and fifth grade students are eager to take their creativity and problem-solving skills to the next level! A laser engraver would open up incredible hands-on opportunities for them to design, create, and innovate in ways they never imagined.
How Will a Laser Engraver Make a Difference?
By incorporating a laser engraver into our classroom, students will gain valuable real-world STEM experience while working on exciting projects such as:
Personalized Keychains and Tags– Learning design software and seeing their ideas come to life.
Custom Puzzles and Games – Understanding precision cutting and problem-solving.
Engraved Artwork and Signs – Combining engineering and artistic creativity.
Wood & Acrylic Prototypes – Developing entrepreneurial and innovation skills.
Goals for This Project
Engage Students in STEM – Hands-on learning makes engineering concepts fun and memorable.
Blend Creativity and Technology – Students can turn digital designs into tangible products**.
Develop Problem-Solving Skills – Learning how to plan, design, and troubleshoot.
Prepare for the Future – Introducing students to technology used in high-tech careers.
What Makes Our Students Special?
Our fourth and fifth graders are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world of engineering and design. They thrive on hands-on challenges and love seeing their ideas come to life. By supporting this project, you’re helping to inspire the next generation of inventors, makers, and engineers!
With your help, we can bring this cutting-edge technology into our classroom and ignite a lifelong passion for innovation in our students.
I believe in them! I am changing the world one scholar at a time. Thank you for your support, time and consideration.
