After students learned about growth mindset, and its importance in their daily lives, they created a design of their own to help spread and encourage their peers to adopt a growth mindset as well. Students created stickers in Canva, formatted them in Cricut Design Space, then printed on waterproof sublimation sticker paper to distribute to students within our school and community.
“I chose to do what I did because “keep smiling” represented a growth mindset, and I feel like with a growth mindset you’re happy and smiling, and I wanted a bear as a care bear so I made an emblem of a growth mindset on his belly and an F1 car on his hand to make it special to me. I feel confident doing the steps to print. There’s some stuff that I don’t know how to do, but I know what to do for everything else and I know I can learn the other stuff.”

"We worked together to find a way for students to use the necessary program to upload their stickers and create them; our ultimate goal is that students are the ones creating, uploading, and printing the stickers in real time."
