My Students

Hello! Thank you for visiting my Donor's Choose Page. I have the most amazing and wonderful sixth grade students that love to learn Science. My students are very diverse and have varying needs, however, the one common factor is the importance to interact collaboratively with technology. They greet every learning experience with enthusiasm and creativity.

My students are kind, hard workers, beginning scientists, and have a passion to learn!

Our school does not qualify for Title 1 funding, and with our current demographic mix, we are on the lower end of assistance from the state and county. We often use our own funds to ensure our students receive the tools they need to succeed. Any assistance you provide would be greatly appreciated.

My Project

My students are excited and eager to create STEM and Science models with the Dremel 3D Printer in my classroom. Unfortunately, we do not have filament, tape, and 3D tools to utilize when printing.

My students would love to create 3D models to help reinforce Science and STEM concepts.

My science lab currently has one Dremel Printer that I received previously with a local school grant. It no longer has tape and filament to print with and will go unused. Students will be able to understand how Scientific Models are developed and used in Science. One example, of many, on how our 3D Printer will be used is to create gears, cams, and levers when we work on our Physics Projects. With your help, you will provide the opportunity for sixth grade Scientists to learn about creating, designing, and printing 3D STEM models!
