Help me give my students a Button Maker to create a faux-business while creating an actual product.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Carlos Garza, M.Ed.'s classroom raised $161
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
I love my students' eagerness to explore real-world skills, and they thrive when they get to be hands-on and innovative. With a button maker, my students will develop their own faux-business, designing, producing, and marketing custom buttons.
My students are creative and full of entrepreneurial spirit!
This hands-on experience, with the button maker and buttons, will spark their creativity, teach them about production processes, and enhance their teamwork and business skills. They'll not only create an actual product but also learn valuable lessons in economics, marketing, and collaboration. Your support will empower them to explore entrepreneurship, all while having fun and being proud of what they create!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
