My Students

My school is a low-income school with over one third of all students being on free or reduced lunch. My group of students range from advanced STEM ability to resource and special education. They are hard-working, challenging, and diverse students who just need a little boost and a glimpse at a different world. Some of these students live in low-connectivity areas with varied access schedules.

My Project

My students have already mastered filament 3D printing and they are ready for a new challenge! This resin 3D printer and curing machine will enable students to print their designs in durable and strong resin in a process that is different from standard filament 3D printers. As students design their prototypes, they will develop their problem solving skills and creativity when they choose between different materials and settings. The Resin 3D printer, curing and washing machine, and bottles of resin will last for years and provide my students with endless hours of STEM learning and fun!

Students create can create anything: science fair projects, tools, game pieces, miniatures - the possibilities are endless!

They can design a prototype, print it, and then use it or give it out to other students, without the long development process other technologies require. I can't wait to see what my students create!
