My Project

This printer will make student learning more active, engaging and boost conceptual thinking. Students will also gain real world understanding as they design and then print real prototypes that they envisioned and developed.

There are many different activities that go on inside and outside of the school however STEM is not one of them.

Students need to be exposed to these type of activities because they are a growing and developing area in the outside world.

Bringing 3D printing and the classroom together in early stages of student development enables educators to use 3D printing to strengthen ideas and principles and provides students with the ability to grow their essential skills while empowering them to express their creativity and curiosity.
