3D Printing and Design!

My students need the opportunity to increase their exposure to STEM concepts. A Makerbot will allow for hands-on experiences that will enable students to grow as learners as well as teaching them important 21st-century skills.

My Students

I have the most wonderful, creative, smart, and unique group of students. They are problem solvers, creative thinkers, scientists, engineers, writers, mathematicians, etc. I am continuously trying to find new and exciting opportunities to challenge them and give them all the resources they need to demonstrate their amazing gifts.

These kids are our future, and they have the ability to make positive changes to the world.

They have unlimited potential, and I want to give them every opportunity to shine.

My Project

I am very much hoping to bring 3D printing technology to not only my classroom but the whole school. A Makerbot 3D printer will allow for hand-ons lessons in science, technology, engineering, and math.

3D printing enables students to exercise their imaginations, as well as practice the 21st-century skills of creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving.

These printers are used in engineering, robotics, medical fields, aeronautics, etc. By giving the students the opportunity to work with this amazing technology at an early age, we are helping to better prepare them for the future job market.

The Makerbot is not only a top-rated 3D printer, but the printer is also supported by Thingiverse, the largest 3D printing community. Students can connect with schools all over the world to post questions and share designs.

Please consider supporting our project. Thank you!
