My Project

My students need the equipment and tools necessary in order to be more creative. It's the little things like having a turntable to work on that help students be both more efficient with their time and in the end more creative overall. My overall goal is equality so that all my students get aprons and be able to use a turntable on a given day. As it is now, I have some equipment but not enough for all my students to use at the same time. The biggest majority of my students chose this elective. So, they come to class with a more positive and creative drive than they might in another class not of their choosing.
