3D Printing for STEM

My students need a 3-D Printer to help turn their ideas into a real life experience.

My Students

My students are very kinesthetic by nature. They are interested in not just seeing, but making. The students in my middle school classes learn best when they are fully engaged in the experience. This means holding materials in their hands and creating final projects that are functional.

Their imaginations have created so many unique and wonderful experiences that have enriched the lives of my kids, the community, and even my own.

My students have great imaginations and kind hearts as well.

My Project

Students will be using the 3D printer to create inventions that solve everyday problems, including those found at our school. This project allows my students to problem solve, which is a skill that is greatly needed.

Students will be able to not only brainstorm their ideas, but also see their ideas come to life before their eyes.

This will help create a new generation of problem solvers with a passion for helping others.This addition to our classroom would allow my students to apply their passion in a way that will stick with them for a lifetime and enhance their learning experience. The 3-D printer would push my students to explore new ideas and form solutions to problems that may have originally seemed beyond their reach.
