My Project
In my Media Studies class, I encourage students to think creatively and explore new ways to express themselves. One powerful way to do that is through hands-on design and crafting. With your support, we can bring a Cricut Maker and a heat press into our classroom, giving students the tools to design and create custom t-shirts, crafts, and other projects that showcase their creativity and skills.
I’m seeking funding to purchase a Cricut Maker, a versatile cutting machine, along with a heat press.
These tools will allow my students to design and create professional-quality products, including custom t-shirts, stickers, banners, and more. By incorporating these tools into our curriculum, we can teach students valuable skills in graphic design, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurship.
By providing these resources in our classroom, we can ensure all students have the opportunity to explore their creativity, gain new skills, and express their unique voices.
This donation will Teach students how to use design software to create custom graphics and designs.
Allow students to see their ideas come to life by making t-shirts, stickers, and crafts for school events, fundraisers, and personal projects.
Foster teamwork and problem-solving as students collaborate on group projects.
Provide an introduction to entrepreneurial skills, as students can learn about product creation and marketing.
Hands-on projects like these help students build confidence, creativity, and real-world skills. Whether they’re designing a t-shirt for a school club or crafting products for a fundraiser, students learn to turn their ideas into tangible outcomes. With the Cricut Maker and heat press, we can take their creative potential to the next level.
Together, we can inspire the next generation of designers, entrepreneurs, and innovators!
Thank you for helping us bring creativity to life in our classroom!
