Rechargeable Light Pads & Charging Station for Collaborative Art

Help me give my students an opportunity to improve their drawing and design skills using rechargeable light pads, to foster collaboration and creativity while making tracing and sketching easier for all.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ryan's classroom raised $459

My Project

I absolutely love teaching my students because they bring so much creativity, curiosity, and determination to the classroom every day. Each student has a unique way of seeing the world, and I’m passionate about helping them develop their artistic voices and build confidence in their skills.

The Portable Rechargeable A4 Light Boxes will be a game-changer for my students.

These light pads make tracing, sketching, and refining artwork much easier and more precise, which is especially helpful for students who struggle with fine motor skills or spatial awareness. Working in table groups, they will share these tools to collaborate and support each other’s learning.

The charging station and storage organizer will keep our classroom organized and ensure the light pads are always ready to use. This means less downtime and more focused creative time for students.

Together, these resources will open new doors for experimentation, skill-building, and teamwork—helping every student bring their ideas to life with greater confidence and joy.
