Classroom Creativity with Cricut
Funded May 8, 2019Thank you so much for helping to fund this project. The second we got the Cricut Cutter the students jumped to start using it. My students love to create and design new things and I expect the Cricut to be a tool they use often for many of their projects.
Currently we are working on turning our classroom into an arcade. The students designed, programmed and built arcade games. In order to help turn the classroom into a true arcade though, the students used the Cricut to help create signs for the game such as a leaderboard.
My students are excited to continue to be able to make anything they can dream of. We greatly appreciate all of your support!”

Funded Jan 15, 2019Thank you so much for supporting my class. My students are a motivated and artistic group. They are participating in our first ever computer science class. The class is all about physical computing which means the students will be using these materials to design, build and program their own devices. The materials helped the students to complete their current project of creating a Winter Wonderland and will help the students with their next project of creating their own arcade.
When the students got the materials they were extremely excited. After every project we have done this year they have asked for more and different materials to create bigger and better projects. For many of them this was the first opportunity they have gotten to use tools like Makey Makey, Sphero and 3D printing pens. It was amazing to see how I can give the students these tools and they can on their own figure out how to use them.
These resources have helped my students to work on being true engineers. Our final project of the year will be to create an arcade. Each student will make their own interactive game. As the students go through the Engineering Design Process, having the proper tools will help them to be true engineers.
My students and I greatly appreciate your support!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Berman
