This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
I am the luckiest teacher in the world who has the most imaginative students out there. They create amazing projects and takes ideas to a whole new level I could never expect.
The idea of this project is to get a specialty printer that allows students to digitally create works of art and print them with ink and paper that can then be transferred to other materials (such as canvas, wood, shirts).
We were able to fund on a previous project a Cricut Machine and Heat press and this printer will allow the students to design their own creations in multiple colors and have their ideas come to life.
In my tech lab, students create Passion Projects that are based off of their own interests. We have had many students over the last few years interested in fashion design. This machine will allow them to create the prototypes of the designs they make so they can show them for school showcases as well as potentially marketing them down the road. In addition, we have had other students interested in board game design. By using this type of print, students would be able to infuse their design on wood or certain plastics and make a more lasting game than just paper glued on cardboard. The applications of the devices are limitless in the hands of these students.
