My Project

When it comes to education, being creative with learning ideas is essential! Sometimes when students and teachers have big ideas for events and learning, it is difficult to bring those ideas to life.

I want to help my students develop their big ideas into something bigger.

With the Cricut Venture, we will be able to supersize projects, learning stations, and decorations for school events. We will use our Cricut Venture to cut single images up to 12ft with a continuous cut, and repeated images up to 75 ft.

Image the possibilities! We will be able to draw, cut, and print the coolest designs we can imagine. This machine will be used to build giant 3D paper sculptures and vinyl wall decorations for dances, school assemblies, and graduations. Learning stations will be brought to life with large displays that can demonstrate instructions and outcomes. This is bigger than purchasing a cutting machine, this is an investment into learning.
