Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

We have been trying to get a 3D printer for some time in our library. My students have designed on software and are ready to create! They are creative, kind, and have so much potential to find who they are and what they are capable of. They just need the opportunity.

This 3D printer kit is designed for kids and beginners which is just what we need.

This would be such a valuable addition to our space for several reasons:

1) Encouraged creativity and innovation

2) Provides hands on learning

3) Skill development

4) Resource accessibility- makes cutting edge technology accessible to those who might otherwise not have the opportunity to use it.

5) Sense of accomplishment for completed projects

6) Increased digital literacy
