My Students

My classroom is constantly alive with imagination and creativity. STEM drives my instruction of over 60 Gifted and talented children. I need the tools to keep fueling their creativity and hunger for learning.

My kindergarten through fifth-grade students love to build, create, and engineer.

They have a strong desire to learn and invent, especially when it helps solve a real-life. It is my goal to keep this level of engagement and excitement alive in my students!

My Project

Having a 3D printer will allow my students to turn their ideas and inventions into reality, enabling them to make their creative solutions to real-life problems into concrete objects. This project will help them strengthen their understanding of STEM concepts by putting them into action!

My students are the future of the world, so they need to be prepared and driven to use the tools of the future.

Your donation toward a MakerBot 3D Printer will help me get them ready!
