3D Prints for Engineering
Funded Sep 7, 2023I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your donation to the Technical Drafting class students of Clifton High School . Your generosity is deeply appreciated and have a significant impact on our efforts to teach 3D modeling.
Your willingness to contribute demonstrates not only your kindness but also your belief in our teaching. It is because of donors like you that we are able to continue our work and make a positive difference in the lives of students.
Students were able to learn to create 3D objects which includes mechanical parts, or any household items. They were given a choice to build something of their own which would then be 3D printed. Please know that your donation will be used responsibly and effectively to understand the concept of 3D designing and modeling.
Once again, thank you for your generosity and for believing in our cause. Your support inspires us to strive for excellence and motivates us to continue making a difference in our community.
With sincere appreciation,
Students”

Decorate Our Littlest Learner's Academy
Funded Mar 1, 2022The new resource is great. Students are eventually getting used to the program associated with it. With the help of the machine, students are able to print and create their own designs and are able to express their thoughts via art and text.
Students were extremely excited when they first saw the output of it. They are amazed as to various materials like vinyl, paper and cardstock can be used and they can eliminate the use of scissors and hexa-blade to cut out unwanted area as it is pre-cut.
This is not the main source of lesson in the classroom as it an additional resource of artwork. The main lesson is designing on AutoCAD. This is in relevance to the orthographic views of the designs created on AutoCAD.”

Funded Jan 1, 2022Students have learned to create and design their own Pinatas. They initially designed the Pinata on 3D Onshape software with proper dimensions given. Then using the same dimensions, students made Pinatas using cardboard. First, they cut the cardboard in proper shape by outlining the lines and shape with exact dimensions used. Then using glue gun, they glue the faces together. Finally, cut the strips on tissue papers glue it on the faces and to add the icing, if needed glue more decors on it.
Glue gun and glue sticks were integral part of the the project. It was the basic necessity for them to put the projects together which can hold the faces of cardboard together for long.
Students learn how simple projects like this can be made effectively at home with little inexpensive resources of their desired design instead of spending money to buy from stores.”

Light Your Path by Walking
Funded Apr 26, 2021I had assigned this project to the high school students of Technical Drafting level III. First, we practiced different types of circuits on paper and like LED lights up with battery, I can see their face lit up as well as if they have accomplished something.
I had it incorporated with the 3D modeling of the houses and street. Students took it to the next level and worked with actual wiring and soldering. They had created a series circuit with the street lights on which was also sensitive meaning the lights will be dimmer when it is too bright and will bright up more in dark. The projects also had switches in the house meaning the lights will turn on when the switch is on.
I wish, I could upload the video to show all the nice features these students had incorporated in building this project. This project has helped the students to learn about different types of circuits.”

Funded Dec 17, 2020This was a great event. The 3 days of the conference felt quite short to learn all the material and digest them. I was simply able to place my foot into it. I will be using a lot of time trying to understand and work in depth on my own. It was an incredible experience. The mentors or facilitators very kind and helpful. They were full of resources.
I learnt the basic circuits. Like how the simple, parallel, on/off switch and blinking lights circuits work. Now, trying we tried it on a template provided. The challenge was to try a method and making it work. First of all, we need to understand the science behind it as of were the positive and negative connection are. The blue LED light does not work well with white, yellow or red as it needs more energy. Connecting or patching the broken circuits and more.
Based on my learning, I can apply it in so many areas. The LED in my brain started to light brighter.”
