My Project

My students are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world around them through hands-on experiences. Our school's makerspace has become a hub for problem-solving and innovation, allowing students to bring their ideas to life. However, we are running low on essential materials—3D printing filament—and need a proper storage solution to keep our supplies organized and accessible. With your support, we can continue fostering creativity, design thinking, and real-world problem-solving skills in our young learners!

We need a variety of high-quality 3D printer filament in multiple colors to enhance student engagement and design possibilities and a rolling storage cart to keep filament spools organized, protected, and easy to access for our daily makerspace activities.

It is important because 3D printing is an exciting and accessible way for young students to develop STEM skills, spatial reasoning, and perseverance. By providing filament and a storage solution, you will empower students to take their ideas from concept to creation. From designing models of their favorite animals to creating functional classroom tools, these materials will support countless learning opportunities. Organized materials also mean smoother transitions and more time spent on meaningful projects instead of searching for supplies.
