My Project

It's the 2nd year for our STEM club and my scholars are excited and ready to go. Unfortunately, we are sorely lacking materials- specifically filament for our 3D printer.

3D printing is an excellent tool for teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) concepts but my students need filament in order to print their projects.

It helps scholars understand design, geometry, physics, and material science. It also teaches them problem-solving skills. Students learn the process of designing, troubleshooting, and refining a 3D printed object enhances their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

This project will allow my scholars a chance for creative expression through 3D printing to explore new forms of expression, creating intricate sculptures, jewelry, and other art pieces that would be difficult or impossible to produce with traditional methods.
