My Project

Our after-school crafting program brings creativity and teamwork to life as students design and create T-shirts for STEAM competitions. Meeting three times a week for an hour, students will use Cricut machines to bring their designs to life, showcasing their team spirit and ingenuity. We request Cricut mats to ensure smooth, efficient crafting and snacks to keep our students energized and focused during these creative sessions.

My students are enthusiastic learners who embrace every opportunity to think creatively and work collaboratively.

They are driven to explore the intersection of art and technology, and this T-shirt crafting project allows them to express their individuality while fostering a sense of team pride for STEAM competitions. Many of my students rely on after-school programs like this to nurture their talents in a supportive environment. Snacks will ensure they have the energy to give their best during these crafting sessions.

We need Cricut cutting mats (standard grip, light grip, and fabric grip) support a variety of materials for T-shirt designs.

Nutritious, individually packaged snacks to keep our students fueled and focused. Your donation will directly impact our ability to provide students with high-quality tools and nourishment for their after-school crafting sessions. Students can continue creating precise, professional-quality designs for their competition T-shirts with Cricut mats. Snacks will ensure they have the energy to stay engaged and collaborative during our sessions.

This project isn’t just about T-shirts—it’s about fostering creativity, teamwork, and confidence in a supportive and fun learning environment.
