My Project

With these new materials, I am hoping to encourage wild ideas and spark more creativity in our Design and Engineering classes. We're hoping to add new cardboard cutters, cardboard connectors, and some Pixicade magic into our MakerSpace. These materials would support students at all levels, with a variety of projects.

Our students love to build stuff – from skateparks and tree houses to shadow boxes and wild inventions.

Imagine the thrill of turning a bunch of cardboard into something epic! That's the kind of imaginative learning our engineers are all about. Cardboard cutters and connectors are essential in bringing these ideas to life, providing students with the means to construct their designs and learn through hands-on experience.

Additionally, the Pixicade technology will introduce students to the world of game development, allowing them to turn their drawings into playable video games with just a press of a button in a matter of seconds. It is magic watching students turn their ideas into reality.

Your support will make a huge difference. You'll be helping us build a space where students can take risks, work together, and discover their inner genius. We want to show students that learning can be fun, exciting, and full of endless possibilities. By providing them with these tools, you are helping students explore their potential, develop critical thinking skills, and gain a deeper understanding of various concepts.
