My Project

The Bambu 3D printer will transform learning for 2,000 students by providing hands-on experience in design, engineering, and problem-solving. With this technology, students will be able to prototype, experiment, and manufacture their ideas, turning concepts into real, tangible products. This process fosters critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, helping students develop essential STEM skills that prepare them for future careers in engineering, architecture, and product design. By integrating 3D printing into our Design Lab, we will create a dynamic learning environment where students can engage in project-based learning, solve real-world challenges, and refine their designs through iterative problem-solving.

My students are curious, motivated, and eager to explore new ways of thinking.

While they are still developing their problem-solving and design-thinking skills, they are excited to take on challenges and bring their ideas to life. Our Design Lab provides the perfect space for experimentation and innovation, but we lack the advanced tools needed to fully support their growth. A Bambu 3D printer will allow students to develop prototypes, refine their designs, and gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology. By engaging in the iterative design process, they will build the confidence and technical expertise necessary for success in STEM fields and creative industries.
