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

The items I am requesting are for a 3D printer. 4th and 5th grade students are currently working on designing and creating their own 3D printers using a CAD (computer assisted design) software all on their own! Other grades are able to win their own 3D prints as well. We use PLA because it is better for the environment than other filaments, non-toxic, and it is still very sturdy.

4th and 5th grade students are creative designers!

They have begun designing their own 3D prints, and it is incredibly empowering and fun for them. They have been able to catch on quickly to the CAD software we are using. These items will help allow me to allow their creations to come to life. I am incredibly proud of the work they have put into for their designs, and I would love to be able to let them hold their own creations and designs in their hand.
