My Project

As a new Library Media Specialist in an amazing middle school library in Brooklyn, I want to provide students with resources that will help them develop real-world solutions to problems they encounter in their own lives or as a result of stories they've read where people may be struggling in some way and need help. Readers are leaders, problem solvers, and creative thinkers who can design, create, and invent by thinking outside of the box.

How amazing would it be if what's in their imaginations came to life in a 3D printer?

We have many students of all languages here and 3D creations speak volumes when their words cannot. They can use the 3D printer not only for solving problems but for a multitude of fabulous ways they can share their learning in the most awesome way possible. Please help fund our school's awesome project and contribute to enhancing our maker space for the future inventors in our midst. Thank you very much!
