From The Teacher
Dear Public - Supply,
Through the utilization of the Cricut machine and materials, I have witnessed firsthand how high school students exploring their entrepreneurial and design interests have experienced a remarkable boost in motivation and an enhanced sense of self-determination. The use of this process highlighted the profound effects of incorporating personal interests into the learning process, showcasing the positive outcomes that result from empowering students to create unique products and pursue their passions. The ability to combine their personal interests with hands-on experiences in entrepreneurship and design has sparked an intrinsic drive within these young minds. They eagerly embraced the opportunity to explore their creativity, experiment with various designs, and witnessed their ideas materialize into tangible products. This project not only propelled their performance within the classroom but also shows up in other aspects of their academic journey, resulting in increased engagement, perseverance, and an overall positive attitude towards learning. Through continued student use, we can further utilize this impactful, yet simple, process to enabling even more students to unleash their creative potential and unlock a world of opportunities.
With gratitude,
Mr. DeValk
