Students at the Hazleton Area Cyber Academy recently learned about entrepreneurship and how to convert their art into tangible products to sell. Guest speakers were brought in during this period to talk to the students about business and entrepreneurship.
Students then came together in-person at the Hazleton Area Cyber Academy, located in the Laurel Mall, Hazleton, where they had the opportunity to transfer their artwork to tangible products.
Cyber Academy teachers, Samantha Snyder and Angela Gadola spearheaded the project which was made possible through grants awarded from Greater Hazleton Partners in Education. With the funds, the teachers were able to purchase and convert a printer to a sublimation printer, purchase a tumbler heat press, a heat press for fabrics, and supplies needed for this project.
Greater Hazleton Partners in Education is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization consisting of local business and education partners focused on ensuring that all students leave school with the academic, technical and employability skills necessary to be successful in the 21st century workplace.
