Reaching New Heights

Help me give my students a Cricut Maker that will cut more than just vinyl so that they can take their creations to the next level through STEM materials.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Martin's classroom raised $791

My Project

This item will add to our creativity corner and bring in so many new ways to be creative but also implement more STEM ideas through innovative technology. This new cricut does not much more than cut vinyl -- it cuts wood, engraves metal, and will even deboss leather! How amazing would that be for my students to experience?

My goal is to continue implementing STEM projects into our classroom because my students have recently become very interested in engineering and technology.

This will allow them to reach new heights and goals through new technology and ideas.

My students all have a disability but I will always prove to the world what their abilities are. They love to create, learn new things, and take their abilities to new heights. They are so wonderful and fun to be around. They have really wanted to explore the area of technology and engineering and I want to be able to give them that opportunity while they are in my classroom!
