  • Printing Futures: Empowering Young Innovators with 3D Technology

    Funded Dec 19, 2024

    The 3D printer has had an incredible impact on our students' learning experience. It's not just a tool; it's become a bridge between imagination and reality. Students are able to bring their ideas to life in ways that were never possible before. Whether they're designing prototypes in engineering class or creating models for history lessons, the printer makes abstract concepts tangible and helps students connect with their learning on a deeper level.

    The most exciting part is seeing students think creatively and solve problems as they design their own projects. For example, in STEM classes, they've been able to create working models of gears, levers, and even simple machines, allowing them to understand engineering principles firsthand. For art and design students, it's been a way to take their sketches and transform them into physical objects, which has been a huge confidence booster for those who have never considered themselves "artists."

    We've also seen a few students who had previously struggled with traditional learning methods really flourish with the 3D printer. One student with a passion for gaming started designing characters and game landscapes, which helped him not only engage with the material but also develop new skills in coding and 3D design software.

    Overall, the 3D printer is more than just a classroom tool—it's an innovation that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It empowers students to see the direct impact of their ideas and gives them a sense of accomplishment when their designs come to life. Your support has made all of this possible, and we can't wait to see what our students will create next!”

  • Future Innovators: Building Bridges With STEM

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    I wanted to share the incredible impact your generosity has made in our classroom. Thanks to your contributions, my students and I have been able to integrate hands-on STEM activities using the new robotics kits and explore diverse literature that opens up their world to new perspectives.

    One of my favorite moments was when the students first saw the materials. Their faces lit up with excitement! I'll never forget hearing one student exclaim, 'This is like building in real life as they worked on their first robot and used the science kit to make things.

    Since then, we've embarked on some amazing projects. Students collaborated to build their own model using the science kits. It's been wonderful to see their creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork skills flourish.

    Looking ahead, we're planning to develop a group presentation on the themes we've explored. These resources have not only supported our current lessons but have also sparked curiosity and confidence that will carry forward in future projects.

    Thank you for making this possible. Your support is more than just a donation it's an investment in my students' growth, education, and dreams.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Jenkins
