Funded Mar 21, 2018Our new 3D printer is now up and running and is being implemented into our computer lab classes! I am excited to say that the reaction has been what I had hoped - excitement and enthusiasm! Not only have I seen their engagement during class time, I am also hearing from the classroom teachers about how our students are excited about learning and designing their own projects.
I think the biggest benefit to our new technology is the combination of creativity and problem solving with a tangible result. Right now my students are using Tinkercad.com to create projects. They have been working through the tutorials to familiarize themselves with the software and it's been great seeing them complete each step and start to create their own projects. Many of my students who claim they are "not good at computers" have found renewed interest in figuring out how to work with this new software, knowing they can print something at the end.
My goal is to display our finished projects throughout the school and share them on the school's social media. I am also excited about finding ways to incorporate 3D printing across the curriculum and discover new ways to implement STEM school wide. Thanks to your donation, we have a new and exciting way for the students to achieve that!”
