2025LHRICTechExpo

The web-based Glowforge platform allows for quick imaging and design work while also providing a library of resources. Many teachers spend personal money to find age-appropriate, tactile materials to enhance learning through the use of manipulatives. These materials are easy to design and make with a laser cutter. This session will share ways in which a variety of disciplines have integrated personal material designs into their respective classrooms. It will also showcase student involvement in the use of this resource, promoting hands-on learning and student voice. We hope that this work will inspire others to want to re-envision classroom materials.
