On Tuesday, November 10 and Thursday, November 12, 2020 the Norwin High School Library held an event for students and staff to learn how to use the Cricut Maker along with the Design Space software. In addition to having a lot of fun, I was able to gather some ideas on how our school community can make use of our library's Cricut in the school curriculum. Below are artifacts from the event.

I also asked teachers and students to complete a survey when they were done creating their vinyl decal. 100% of participants said that they would use the Cricut again for a school, club, and personal project. Several participants already owned a Cricut but came to learn a few Design Space tips or asked for help in creating a design using a new material that they had never used before. Two adult participants also mentioned that they would now like to purchase their own Cricut Maker to use for personal projects or activities in the community. 100% of participants also rated Design Space software, the Cricut Maker machine, and the consumables all to be relatively easy to use.
