My Project

I am requesting cardboard cutting tools and fasteners. These items will assist my students in make more precise measurements and cuts to meet the needs of their projects. Currently, my students use student scissors to cut their cardboard creations out. It is extremely inaccurate and time consuming for them to cut the cardboard safely.

The goals for this project is to give the students a way to independently and safely cut cardboard pieces for their creations without having an adult do it for them.

It will give the students more hands-on opportunities as well as more ownership of the projects.

My students absolutely love to build things for their STEM projects. Adding these tools will help them to bring their creativity to life even more! They've been cutting their cardboard with dull student scissors for years. They will greatly appreciate having the right tools for the job!
