My students are amazing, every day they blow me away; with their smiles, their curiosity, and their desire to learn! They are our future and I want to give them a great start to their long, successful careers.
My students were fascinated by the 3D printing experience.
We were lucky enough to borrow a personal Toybox 3D printer for the annual Our Town Project. Our students loved creating and bringing their ideas to life in a 3D format. Having a 3D printer in the classroom provided the students with a tangible understanding of what they digitally created. I would love to gain a Toybox 3D printer exclusively for the PreK program, allowing our students to continue to design and print to their hearts' content. With this equipment, I hope to expand my student's exploration into design and creation in our classroom. These concept designs brought to life with 3D printing will help fuel their understanding of the design process and hopefully inspire many to pursue STEM careers later in life.
