We employed these cutting machines in my NGSS Fabrication Lab training recently, and the director exhorted us to show the students how to use the software--even if we couldn't afford the equipment. It was extremely simple to use. I drew a design on paper, scanned it, and the machine then deftly cut out the outline--which happened to be a stylized sign saying "DOOR" in 5 languages. I will put this on our classroom door to support my quadrilingual classroom in their language abilities. A few of them understand little or no English--but to excite them to be able to MAKE something out of their imaginations (in the space of a few minutes) should be enough to cement their determinations to fully learn English, and consider STEM careers. For the others-who have significantly better English (but most come from high-poverty backgrounds), they will be much more encouraged (and they will, of course, be much more well-behaved in order to have "preferred activity time" to create stickers, parts of science-related objects like atoms and molecules, body parts, etc.) This will also get them to come in more during lunch and after school and have more academic-focused conversations with me. I believe this will actually start a movement that will affect EVERY classroom at the school! It is the future, and will also enable me to more finely focus their attention on the connections and usefulness of science and technology--in their daily lives!
