My Project

My students love using their computers and pretty much all other forms of technology in and out of the classroom. I am hoping that by having a 3D printer, students can use their knowledge of art and technology to create beautiful little trinkets or figures.

I want to build on their passions by getting them a 3D printer and filament so that they can learn how to build whatever is possible from their imaginations.

I am hoping that this mixed subject matter of science, technology, and art will spark more creativity and love of school in my students.

Grades 6-8
