My Project

My students thrive when given the tools and space to create, problem-solve, and innovate. To maximize our limited space, we’re building a vertical makerspace that encourages creativity while keeping our classroom organized.

We need printer stands to stack Cricut machines below and organize tools above, making the most of every inch.

To further support student projects, we need 12x18 construction paper storage, variety of scissors for cutting consumables, and organization tools to keep materials tidy and accessible.

By building upwards, we’ll transform our countertop into a creative powerhouse where Arts meet STEM, inspiring students to dream big and make their ideas a reality.

Your support will help elevate our classroom, literally and figuratively, fostering creativity and ingenuity!
