The button press in our Makerspace offers a simple yet enjoyable way for high school students to create personalized pins or buttons. Whether for representing clubs, showcasing artwork, or expressing individuality, the process is straightforward. Students start by designing their images, which can then be printed and cut to fit the size of the buttons. The button press securely fastens the image between the button pieces, creating a professional-looking pin.
