My Project

The use of a 3D printer will allow students to create scaled up versions of the microscopic world they are being introduced to. Any donations towards this project will allow students to see how engineering can result in a tangible learning experience. The use of the 3D printer will also allow my students to see how science is used outside of the typical style of learning.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
