My Project

3D printing is a great way to help students create STEAM projects. Our school relies on traditional methods to create our STEAM projects. While these methods are a great base for students we would like to begin working with students on new and exciting technologies. These new technologies will help encourage students to tale their projects to the next level.

3D printers are an important piece of technology that will help students bring their ideas into real life.

Our school would like to utilize these printers to create realistic models for science, bring students engineering projects to life, and make pieces to add to students art projects.
