My students learn about the design process, and they create 3-D models using CAD software in designing a new product of their choice. But all of this is on computers on a 2-dimensional screen. But, if they could print and keep their 3-D models it would mean so much more to them since they could feel it and touch it. After they create their product using Google Sketch-Up they will create a 3-D print of it to be displayed and brought home. Hopefully this will be the "spark" they need to ignite a creative flame within them. This will also help them become more interested in the subject and remain better engaged in classroom learning. It is my hope that this project will help encourage more students to find their future in a STEM career! Using a 3-d printer in the classroom will help in stimulating their creativity when designing a product of their choice. If this project is funded it will also demonstrate how committed we are to their learning, and that the project is so worth-while an outside company spent money on it! By combining technology and creativity they will achieve so much more! There are countless STEM careers that use 3-D printing for so many different uses and not just engineering. Automotive parts, medical areas, military uses, architecture, even chocolate companies use 3-d printers.
