The goal in our district and our school is to help students learn about and develop skills that will be beneficial to them as they begin graduating and enter the workforce applying for jobs that we don't even know exist yet. We teach the 6 Cs; character, citizenship, critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration, as well as 21st century skills such as 3D design and printing, animation, coding, robotics, graphic design, etc. By donating to my project you will help my students develop both their graphic and 3D design skills in a variety of projects while they learn the core standards as well in an engaging and hands-on approach. We will use these resources in a variety of ways. For my 3rd grade group of students, I would like to teach them communication skills by having them design a maze in a box using the 3D pens and then seeing if they can use their communication skills to help a peer guide a marble through their maze. Another lesson I would like to do with the 3D pens is with my 5th grade students. We would learn about different major cities throughout the country and have the students use the 3D pens to create a shadow of the cityscape that makes each city so recognizable. The 3D filament will be used to refill filament in the classroom 3D printers. We use these printers to teach basic 3D design as well as collaborative architectural design with 6th grade, teaching constellations with 2nd grade and making hot air balloons with 3D printed baskets with Kindergarten.
