Thanks to you, my students have a cordless hot glue gun which has given them flexibility to create without having to be next to a wall. They also have more colorful filament options. These have already helped with classroom projects! They are working on a small business project to fundraise for our program. Students have used the filament to create items like fidgets to sell. They've also created crafts using the hot glue gun to sell. Additionally, they did an activity where they were promoted to transform bottle caps into creative products.
