Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our school serves a group of amazing and diverse scholars who are eager to learn! We want to continue to motivate our students by creating a positive and engaging atmosphere for all.

A Cricut Heat Press will allow our scholars to be creative on different mediums!

Our scholars love to design and wear custom items that represent themselves and their clubs or organizations. A Cricut Heat Press will allow our scholars to explore a different piece of technology as they create various works of art. A heat press will be the perfect addition to our Cricut Maker, and I am excited to see how our scholars combine both art and STEM with their new heat press.
