  • 3D Printer for Our Maker Space

    Funded Nov 9, 2021

    The 3D printer your donation provided offers our students the ability to experience their projects from conception, to the model/ design stage to actual creation of their design.

    This printer creates daily excitement, builds critical thinking skills, has increased our student and teacher engagement, and has facilitated a better understanding of the design process. Most of our students have not had the opportunity to see a 3D printer in real life, let alone be able to plan and carry out their own design projects! The creativity and forethought is really being sparked here in Middle School 114!

    Some projects we are completing in Math, specifically in Geometry, involve conversion of measurement and ratio lessons for how much it costs to complete a certain project. We have just begun Geometry lessons that will lead to a 3D printed night light! The students have a growing list of projects they want to complete, and the excitement has gained momentum as they think of real life problems they can solve by a simple design...an organizer for their supplies, a door stopper made for our heavy door, a place to hold their iPad or phone. This list is growing daily!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Malchow

    This classroom project was brought to life by Con Edison and one other donor.
Microduino and Littlebits Arduino will be used as a STEM center. The center will open up a whole new area of experimenting and learning that will stretch the students' understanding in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. These materials will allow students the opportunity to design, build, and code their own machines. According to an article in Edutopia titled Add Coding to Your Elementary Curriculum, Right Now, "Early exposure to coding helps teach children how important it is to understand computers as the valuable tools they are rather than merely fun play things." I want my students to begin understanding that they can be makers rather then just users.
