My Project

The Cricut machine will be a tool to engage students in learning. The hands-on activities provided by the Cricut will offer students an opportunity to utilize their creativity to customize charts, diagrams, posters, to enhance their learning. These connections will help to develop a better understanding of the science content.

The Cricut machine will be used to create anchor charts such as the water cycle, ecosystem diagrams, and even modeling the difference between plant and animal cells.

These interactive opportunities will aid students in bringing science concepts to life in a meaningful way.

The Cricut Maker 3 machine will give students access to develop educational materials that will support their learning and spark their creativity. By funding this project, students will be able to highlight the T for technology in STEM, thereby creating an environment where learning is not only engaging but also fun!
