My Project

A 3D printer is more than just a tool—it’s a gateway to creativity, innovation, and financial literacy for our students. With this technology, they’ll design and produce unique items to sell, turning their ideas into real-world fundraising projects. Through this process, they’ll learn essential financial skills such as budgeting, cost analysis, and profit margins, giving them hands-on experience in managing money and making informed financial decisions.

Our goal is to empower students with both technical and entrepreneurial skills that will benefit them for a lifetime.

By integrating 3D printing into our fundraising efforts, students will see firsthand how innovation can drive financial success. They’ll take ownership of their projects, set goals, and track their earnings—all while developing creativity, problem-solving abilities, and business sense.

Our students are imaginative, hardworking, and eager to learn skills that prepare them for the future. With a 3D printer, we can provide them with opportunities to explore STEM while also teaching financial responsibility in a meaningful, engaging way. Your support will help us turn ideas into reality, fostering a new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs!
