My Project
Recently, our district was donated an xtool s1 machine to create a makerspace program. The machine came with a 40w laser for larger projects. Our students are wanting to work on smaller pieces such as jewelry, pens, awards, cups and more intricate materials. This laser will allow them to learn how to use the machine on items that they can handle, and with a smaller wattage making it more appropriate for them as they learn.
The best learning is when they don't know they are learning, leading to magical ah-ha moments.
This item will empower students to do BIG things on smaller items, creating unlimited possibilities. Students will learn how to manufacture items with the smallest of details and will create business models to successfully support their organizations. This laser will open doors for students to learn life skills, create art, learn graphic design, understand basic economics, and marketing - all of which are embedded in the fun of designing their own masterpieces. It's giving students the ability to transform 2-D drawings into 3D work.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
