My Project

I teach an awesome group of students from kindergarten to 8th grade. This is our first year of having STEM for our students and they have really started to get involved in engineering and having their creativity run! My middle school students have started to show interest in wanting to learn how to 3D print. We have limited funding due to being a charter school.

I want to give my students a chance to start 3D printing projects and let their creativity run wild while still applying engineering design processes.

I teach at a charter school that wants to expand our programs for our students to help them dig deeper into their interests and having a tool like a 3D printer will give our students another option in our STEM lab to help them to keep exploring. This would be our very first 3D printer for our students to hopefully kick start our new adventures!
