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
Hello! Please help me add to the Makerspace in our Media Center. Currently, our Makerspace is limited to games, Legos/K'nex for building, origami, and coloring. It is my hope to add some more items for the students to do some "making".
By adding a Cricut machine, students can make a countless number of personalized projects (e.g., vinyl for shirts, decals, hats).
The vinyl sheets, cutting mats, and transfer paper are all necessary accessories to be used with the machine.
Adding a button maker will allow for more "making" in the way of buttons for general interest items, student rewards, and school spirit events. Buttons could additionally be made with positive affirmations for supporting and encouraging students.
If this project is funded in time, I would like to host an event in February for Valentine's Day with bracelet making. The event would allow for students to make bracelets for a friend or with a friend. This type of project would allow for students to be creative, show kindness for others, and maybe make a gift for someone else when they otherwise would not have been able to share something.
I will provide support for students to learn the new skills necessary to safely use the Cricut and the button maker. I look forward to hosting maker sessions and getting our students "making".
More than half of students from low‑income households
