Building career-ready classrooms through hands-on learning

Today’s students learn best when they can design, create, and see their ideas take shape in the real world. AP Lazer helps schools bring hands-on, project-based learning into the classroom—supporting STEM, CTE, STEAM, and design programs that prepare students for life beyond graduation.

From introductory labs to advanced career pathways, AP Lazer systems give educators a practical way to turn curiosity into confidence and learning into real-world skill building.

Education is evolving

and classrooms are under pressure

Educators are being asked to do more than ever: increase student engagement, align learning with real career opportunities, and prepare students for a rapidly changing workforce—all while navigating tight budgets and limited resources.

Students want learning that feels relevant and hands-on. Schools need tools that support multiple programs, adapt to different learning styles, and justify long-term value. Finding solutions that meet all of those needs can be challenging.

“Not only are [the students] intrigued by how it works, but they also realize the many opportunities that a laser machine opens for them out in the world. Some of them see it and immediately think of how to start a small business using it, while some see it as a useful tool for existing enterprises.”

Casey Shea, California high school math teacher and “Maker Educator”

“If money were no object, the laser cutter would be my No. 1 tool, as it is perhaps the most versatile tool that I have ever used.”

George Danford, Career Center Director

“The number of things we could find to use this machine for are countless! There isn’t a program offered today which hasn’t been changed with the incorporation of technology. This is why we selected a laser engraving system, and it has definitely improved our curriculum.”
