My Project

Thank you for considering this project! We are looking to build out our technology and career pathway with a way for students to gain experience in careers that are found in our local communities. One example is a heat press for local industries. With your donation, you will be helping us build out opportunities to engage, excite, and spark innovation in our students beyond the traditional routes planned.

The chance to take what they create and make it something they can hold is a spark for engagement and leads to furthering the lifelong love of learning.

Help students find this spark with the opportunity to build their creations in our technology classroom that will be available to all Plumb Hill Middle School students in courses, electives, and clubs.
