Help me give my students immediate access to touch, hold, and manipulate models of cells, microorganisms, fossils, planets, and so much more! The MakerBot 3D printer can put these materials in students’ hands.
This project will support the over 1,000 students at our elementary school, a Title I Pre-K through 5th grade school in rural Georgia.
With many content standards requiring students to understand elements of our world that are abstract and difficult for students to conceptualize, students would greatly benefit from models they can have their hands and eyes on.
From exploring fossils in third grade to the parts of the solar system in fourth grade and investigating cells and microorganisms in fifth grade, the possibilities for positive impact from this project are endless.
Additionally, all of our students can benefit from access to hands-on manipulatives in math, and with 3D printing capabilities in-house, we can produce these ourselves for our students!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
