My Project

With so many jobs becoming available in technology these days, students will benefit from being exposed to different ways technology can be used in our world. 3D printing is a great way to introduce this type of technology to students.

Having access to a 3D printer will allow students to use computer assisted design software.

Utilizing such software will be a good experience for students to become familiar with how these types of programs work. Students also love being able to see something they created come to life. Many of my students come from low-income houses. This type of technology is not something students would be able to access without your help.
