A pre-designed template of a mortarboard, or graduation cap, formatted for printing. These templates are often available as digital downloads and can be customized before printing. For example, an educator may provide students with a paper template to color and assemble in preparation for a celebratory event.
The creation and use of these templates offer cost-effective and accessible options for celebratory activities, especially in resource-limited environments. Historically, physical representations of academic achievement have held significant symbolic value.
