3D Printer Extravaganza!

My students need two more fully functioning 3d printers to fully realize our goal of designing and creating 3d objects to visualize our math and science concepts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Reding's classroom raised $1,120

This project is fully funded

My Students

Students in this 7th grade STEM class are driven to create and build. We are a diverse group from urban San Diego with a lot of commuter families. We value collaboration and exploration with student work.

We have a very active parent community and they love to get involved and support our classrooms.

We have a student population of about 450 with grades K-8 . We are very interconnected within our grades and like to do collaboration projects between our middle grades and our elementary grades.

Our campus is filled with smiling faces, running kiddos, and gardens. It is a wonderful place to work and to learn.

My Project

In our 7th grade STEM class we are practicing creating and molding 3D shapes to help us practice geometry and math. We currently only have one 3D printer and I am unable to print all of the awesome objects that my students create.

We will add 2 printers with this project to allow us to make all of our 3D object dreams come true.

We will use them to create parts of cells, to demonstrate math manipulatives, and create figures for stories. Manipulating 3D shapes in space is an outstanding way for students to visualize objects and prepare them for our higher studies of math and geometry.
