John Acevedo, Amber Charter Schools (New York, NY) - 2023 Infy Makers Awards Winner 

John will use the award to purchase a laser cutter, filter, associated technology, supplies, and curricula to further develop a maker education program/space and associated STEAM skills for middle school students at Amber Charter Schools. The laser cutter gives students the use of more tactile materials to learn and test their engineering/robotics hypotheses. Producing real models allows students to test designs and gives more access to learning for neurodiverse learners as well.
