Help me give my students access to a 3D printer so they can print their designs.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Monroy's classroom raised $1,727

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our students are a full spectrum with a diverse campus in race, culture, socioeconomic status and interests. Our campus serves approximately 635 students, grades 7th thru 8th and between the ages of 12 to 14. Ethnically our students are approximately 87% minorities with 45% being Latin American, 26% African American, and 13% Asian and Pacific Islander. 25% of our students are currently an English Language Learner.
Both my math and engineering students will benefit from having accesses to a 3d printer, bringing their work alive through project based learning.
My engineering students will be able to print their Autocad Projects, while my math students will be able to bring their math problems to life.
My Project
In this project students will be using geometric nets to explore Platonic solids and discover Euler's Formula. Students will begin by learning about surface area, vertices, sides, and faces of geometric polyhedrons.
The students will be using Autodesk Inventor Professional and their knowledge of Platonic Solids to create and 3D print their own examples.
With this 3d printer, students will be able to bring their projects to life; sparking a better understanding and new ideas.
Students will also explore how 3d printers work and think of other ways they can apply it to what they are learning in their math and engineering classes.
More than half 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
