My Project

How do you build team spirit? Build in time during our season to make new buttons with our brand new logo! Students learn to create and assemble team buttons/badges to promote team spirit amongst the school community and with the other teams we meet and compete with at the regional events each season. Students who aren't sure about how to get involved in the team often start with our media group and learn how the team works.

By creating the badges themselves, with a Cricut and button maker, students learn to make their team logo designs a reality, communicate their team pride, and to appreciate how things are made, even on the smallest scale.

My students need a new badge maker and button making supplies to create buttons and stickers to promote team spirit at the regional robotics events. All teams participating trade badges and other team swag at the events to show support for other teams each year.

The laminating sheets help with team scouting events and team strategy planning during competitions. The numbers will allow members to add numbers to our spirit gear and robot to help us stand out.
