My Students

I have the greatest classroom in the entire school. My room is completely different than anything else you would see. Walking into my room, you will be greeted by students working hard on projects, tools, sawdust, and lots of activity.

The theater is a place where anything can happen and imagination can run free.

Our Tech Theater class is that place for imagination. The students in my technical theater class are a wide range of individuals. Some have always been in theater and know every show, others have never seen a show in their entire life. Either way, all are responsible for the creative completion of the school sets for any production in the auditorium. My students usually come into the class with limited to no knowledge of how the theater works and or how to build a set. But by the end of the class, they have completed a work of art worthy of the stage.

My Project

Our dream is to create a Maker Studio and with InfyMaker's help, this can happen. A Maker Studio is a place where any student can come and create whatever it is they can imagine. Our particular Maker Studio is designed to help make out theater program stronger. The theater and the maker movement have a great overlapping element, creativity. There are few places that a student is allowed to be as creative as the theater. Having the equipment and supplies to allow them to be that creative is essential. Using these foam cutters, students will be able to model and sculpt projects, create molds, and design scenery. The design process is only as good as the equipment involved. This new equipment will allow creativity to win and students to make amazing pieces of art.

Getting these new tools would mean that my students have the opportunity to work with a material that we previously could not work well with.

This will allow my students to create new and amazing works, create molds and use an injection molder, and create light scenery. These foam cutters will be opening an opportunity for my students to express their own creativity and artistic design.
