My Project
I work in a Title I school where students might not ever see this kind of technology, and I would like to give them the experience to show them that their dreams and ideas can come to life. 3D printing promotes active learning, encourages problem-solving, and lets children think creatively and come up with solutions to real-world problems. It can also be used to teach children about design and engineering as they will learn to understand how products are created and how they can be improved.
3D printing ensures that each student has access to the hands-on tools they need and gives teachers the power to change those tools or print extra if necessary.
The great part is that while the students are having fun creating and printing an assortment of objects, they'll also be building their confidence, learning about design, and enhancing life-long skills, such as creativity and critical thinking. So please help me get this technology into the hands of eager young learners and the leaders of our future.
