My Project

In the rural area that I teacher and live in with a high percent of the student body living at or below the the poverty line. Currently, I am about to start my second year there and my second year teacher a class called Digital Design. In this class we create digital designs and do lessons on TinderCad. Throughout this last year we used 3d Pens because that's what I could afford. My students loved using them but continued to ask about 3D printers.

Getting a 3D printer would immensely bless my students and help with the understand the digital design process within TinkerCad and many of my student wouldn't ever get the opportunity to use a 3D printer if not for school.

Please help me bring new technology into my classroom that students can explore and learn new skills with.
