Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

My students are tech-savvy and very eager to participate in project-based learning. This Cricut cutting machine and heat press will allow them to turn their own designs into vinyl cutouts, which will make their ideas come to life. Since we are always doing STEAM projects, these materials will allow my students to add even more artistic design to their projects, and make them appear more professional. My students will be able to take their graphic designs to the next level while learning new technology skills that can help them succeed in the future.

Designing and creating vinyl cutouts is a skill that can help all students become mini-entrepreneurs, seeing their own graphic designs come to life.

Jobs of the future are going to look different than they do today, it is our job to provide our future generations with skills, so that they might be able to start their own small businesses. These skills are heavily dependent on access to and familiarity with technology. Please help me provide a Cricut cutting machine, heat press, and vinyl materials to my class, so they can learn to be the creators of the future.
