3D Building with Student Safe Handheld Pens! Wow!

Help me give my students the ability to create 3D items of their design in our Genius Hour STEM lab!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kirske's classroom raised $705

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are inquisitive, and love to learn, and try new things. These 3D design pens will allow them to create their own colorful designs in a 3 dimensional reality! Our younger students have limitless potential and innate ability to think and create outside the box.

These STEM tools will allow them to create and exist with their 3D designed imagery and start to get them ready for bigger, future challenges.

The idea that they can take their drawing and create it with a 3D printing pen designed to be safe for kids is amazing. Our 3D design printing pens will help further their understanding of current technology, STEM, and support their creative thinking.
