Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our school has an Innovation Lab filled with 3D printers and laser engravers. A Cricut Design Center would allow students to explore and create through a different medium. Teachers incorporate the design process into different subjects and activities in the classroom. Students then explore digital tools to help create and produce a variety of projects that demonstrate an understanding of their lessons. Students are taught to design and create through critical thinking and imagination. A Cricut Design Center added to our Innovation Lab will allow students to explore another avenue of the design process and allow them to bring their creations to life.
