Engraving Lifetime STEAM Experiences
Funded Sep 4, 2024I am writing to express our sincere thanks for helping us bring laser engraving and cutting back to our school! Students who have done these projects in the past were so excited for the return, and new students were sparked by curiosity and the creative drive to make some really lovely things.
Because our school and our students struggle so much with access to resources, this gift is especially meaningful. We were able to access laser-engraving blanks (cutting boards, coasters, keychains). Our students were able to make gifts for family for Christmas this year without the challenges that come with poverty. They were able to show love in a conventional sense, through unconventional means, learning that there is more than one way to participate in Christmas. Their gift-giving is empowering and allowed them to see how they can flex their creative muscles to express themselves and spread kindness and cheer.
Our STEAM competition team will be designing and using the laser engraver to make props for our participation in the upcoming Rube Goldberg competition. They're so excited to have the resource, and are industriously engaged in solving design problems and embellishing their work with some laser-cut flair.
You've made a wonder difference for our school and our students. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Hollis
