My Project

My students LOVE to learn new technology and LOVE to give back to their community, whether that be their world, their county or their city, but especially their school! My students want to show their appreciation for the hardworking heroes in their lives, their teachers, during the holiday season by using our classroom technology to express their gratitude while learning new skills! Using a newly acquired GlowForge and their Computer Aided Design software, students want to construct gifts to present to teachers during our annual Christmas Spa Day, an entire day of much needed pampering and stress reducing activities , including massages, hot chocolate, and Christmas cookies!

The wood cutting boards and coasters a will allow my students to learn new technology, hone their entrepreneurial skills and provide an outlet for those skills, while they also provide teachers with much-needed self-care, allowing them to rejuvenate and de-stress from the demands of the classroom.

In a world where acts of kindness can brighten someone's day, recognizing the dedication of teachers with such meaningful presents not only makes the holiday season special but also reinforces the importance of giving back and expressing our appreciation. In addition, students are learning and practicing their skills on CAD, and practicing entrepreneurial skills such as problem solving, networking, communication, and creativity.
