3D Printers to Bring Our Design Creations to Life!

Funded Sep 20, 2022

Thank you again for your generous donation! When my co-teacher and I started our unit this February on 3D design many of the students had difficulty seeing where they could use this in the future. As I started to build and test the first 3D printer, they got more excited about the possibilities. It was funny how many of them said, "Hey, I've seen this stuff on Tik-Tok!" The students just started to work on their final project, a design of their own, but they are all excited to create something of their own.

Two students in particular have become my printing technicians, they are now able to re-level the bed, refill filament, and have a working knowledge of what it takes to get a successful print up and running. Oftentimes they will stay after class to make sure that a print finishes or to tune the machines. My favorite thing is that before this class, they rarely socialized with each other, but now not only do they work together as a team but are learning to respect and listen to an idea that isn't just their own.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Scaringi
