My Project

My students are talented, creative, and eager to learn new skills. Many come from low-income families and have limited access to creative or technical resources outside of school. The T-Shirt Design Club gives them a space to express themselves, build confidence, and explore interests in art, fashion, and entrepreneurship.

Our T-Shirt Design Club helps students turn their original ideas into custom t-shirts using both hand-drawn and digital designs.

We need a heat press, a vinyl cutter, and heat transfer vinyl (HTV) to make their designs come to life.

Students will create artwork digitally or on paper, cut it with the vinyl cutter, and apply it to shirts using the heat press. These skills reflect real-world tools used in fashion and design industries. Finished shirts will be worn by students, gifted, or used in school events.
