My Project

With a Cricut and color printers, our students will bring their designs into the 21st century and beyond. While our students are already skilled at creating digital artwork on platforms like Adobe, Google Slides, and Canva, these tools will allow them to take their creativity even further. The Cricut will enable them to cut intricate designs and create custom projects with professional quality, expanding their artistic possibilities beyond traditional art supplies.

The color printers will help students produce vibrant, high-quality infographics and projects at a rapid pace, which is essential given our large school population.

Many students are tasked with creating detailed designs quickly, and having access to these tools will streamline the process, letting them focus on creativity instead of time-consuming manual work.

Incorporating these tools into their learning will not only enhance their artistic skills but also prepare them for the demands of the modern, tech-driven world. With a Cricut and color printers, we can help our students turn their digital designs into tangible, real-world projects, fostering creativity, innovation, and a strong foundation for their future careers.
