Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This project is to fund the 3D printing filament for our bright and curious students. 3D printing is a fun and innovative new field that our bright students are yearning to learn more about. The 3D printing club was formed by students that want to learn the in & outs of 3D printing that they normally would not be able to afford.

By funding this project students will have the material to print out tangible objects they design and code.

Students will learn the engineering principles that go into 3d printing, learn to work 3d software, create their own designs and test out their design in the real world.
