3D Pens for STEM

Help me give my students 3D pens to explore and express their creativity!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Amanda's classroom raised $192

This project is fully funded

My Project

Over the summer, I purchased several 3D pens from Temu. Needless to say they were not the greatest quality and we have gone through 2 out of 5 pens despite students treating them nicely and taking good care of them. They have been the stars of our morning soft starts.

With the help of caring donors, I have been slowly but surely building a STEM lab/maker space in the classroom.

A long-term goal is to have a variety of STEM/maker-space tools available and a weekly or bi-weekly STEM lab time to promote both Montessori Practical Life and STEM. I am looking for 3 higher-end 3D pens towards this goal.
