3D Printing-Palooza
Funded Jan 27, 2021
A huge thank you to all our amazing donors! Your generosity helped us purchase awesome 3D printing equipment for our middle school science classes. We're so excited to give these kids the chance to experiment and get creative with this cutting-edge tech.
This 3D printer equipment is going to open up a whole new world for our students. They'll be able to design and build their own inventions, bringing science to life in a way they've never experienced before. It's a fantastic opportunity to inspire a love for STEM and we couldn't have done it without your support. We can't wait to see the incredible things our students create with this 3D printer!”
With gratitude,
Mr. McCann

I like using real-world examples within project-based group projects. Having access to a quality, fast 3D printer will allow my students to collaborate together to create objects to help solve a problem. I will reach out to local businesses and other teachers in the district to find project ideas that students can create solutions for. One idea from a kindergarten teacher is to have my students design a pencil gripper for her class. She used to buy a certain gripper that is no longer available. She would like to work with my students to give them the design constraints and have them create prototypes. She can test them with her students and give feedback. These types of real-world projects offer students incredible opportunities and give them skills they can apply throughout the rest of their lives.
