Practice Makes Perfect

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Careri's classroom raised $177

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

We have been super excited to start using our laser engraver. As we have started using this amazing tool, we are finding out we need to practice on different materials! We have quickly run out of things to try and have some ideas we would like to test out!

Leather straps, necklace blanks, clasps and metal bars will help up continue to practice programing and making jewelry!

It has been a slow process and we still need a few more things but we are trying different materials step by step! It is so exciting to see all the things we can create! Now if we just had all the blanks to try it all out with!
