No Crickets Here! An Exciting and Welcoming Classroom with Cricut

Help me give my students a creative edge and ownership of their own classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Gonzalez's classroom raised $395

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This Cricut Explore Air 2 will liven up our small and cramped science lab repurposed to house our developing Computer Science classroom. Without many visual resources or materials to start off the school year, the space continues to lack much aesthetical pizazz. Boasting versatile functionality, this Cricut Explore Air 2 will act as the foundation for creating useful instructional tools to support student learning.

Further, this project will introduce my students to technology that encourages exploration through creativity.

I can't wait for them to help design materials that will:

-supplement curricular materials for use during instruction

-beautify classroom spaces with original visual elements

-strengthen understanding of design-driven programming applications

-support learning with 2D visual models of relevant terminology and concepts
