My Project

Our project is requesting a smaller Button-making machine and supplies for our classroom. In a previous DonorsChoose project, we were fortunate to get a Button making machine, and students have loved taking their classroom learning of Adobe Photoshop and transforming their design into something tangible, like a button. This new project is to request a smaller size button machine so students can create buttons that are 1.25" and 2.25" to take their learning to the next level.

Transforming teaching with hands-on learning is essential to teaching students the skills to prepare for their future.

Students love to express their creativity and designs. Students enjoy being able to start with a blank canvas and bringing their design to life in the form of a button.
