My Project

This year we really want our projects to pop. Having an in-class 3D printer will save lots of time and money that many of my students just don’t have.

Imagine having the ability to make a bust of your favorite character from history.

The possibilities are infinite. I have seen firsthand how having a 3D printer has enhanced the learning experience for my colleagues and I know this will help with engagement in my classroom as well. We also need pencils.

Thank you for your consideration and We hope to make you very proud.
