My Project

I am requesting an entry level 3D printer to bring science and creativity to life. The printer can also double as a creator for student center materials and student prizes. There are files online that can bring letters and numbers to life. Students will love to see play-dough cutters in the shape of the letter of the week being printed right in front of them!

The class can lead into writing assignments once the students understand what the printer is for.

I can also print cool looking letters and numbers for them as quarterly good behavior prizes.
