My Project

Welcome to our project page! We are reaching out to you with an exciting opportunity to make a tangible difference in the way our students learn, create, and innovate. Our school is home to a burgeoning group of eager minds, passionate about exploring the vast possibilities of design and technology. Currently, we have a laser engraver that has opened our students' eyes to the wonders of design, engineering, and manufacturing. However, we're only scratching the surface of what's possible. We are seeking support to acquire a rotary attachment for our laser engraver.

This vital addition will not only enhance our technology and design curriculum but will also unlock new dimensions of creativity and innovation among our students.

With a rotary attachment, our students will be able to engrave on cylindrical objects, expanding their creative canvas to include things like drinking glasses, baseball bats, and even musical instruments. This means not just flat designs anymore, but a whole world of 360-degree creativity!
