My Project
We are looking to purchase a Glowforge Laser cutting machine, a versatile and powerful tool that will significantly enhance our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) program. This innovative piece of equipment will provide our students with hands-on experience in designing and engineering a wide array of projects, including:
Working Models: Students can design and create intricate models for their engineering and science projects, giving them a deeper understanding of concepts and fostering a love for learning through practical application.
School Garden Enhancements: With the Glowforge, we can produce custom trellises and plant markers, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal to our school garden. This hands-on project will also teach students about sustainability and horticulture.
Labels and Organization: The machine will help us create durable and professional-looking labels for classroom supplies, student projects, and more, promoting an organized and efficient learning environment.
However, to make this dream a reality, we need your support. Your generous donation will directly impact our students by providing them with the tools they need to innovate and excel.
By supporting our initiative, you are not only contributing to our school’s immediate needs but also investing in the future of education and the development of the next generation of engineers, designers, and innovators.
