My Project

We want to keep moving and growing in the real world setting. We would love to have a 3D printer to take our imaginations to the next level!

We are a diverse group of learners in a rural community.

This 3-D printer will allow us to experiment with STEM concepts in a fun and engaging way. We will be able to take our ideas and understanding to new heights by creating models. Having this 3-D printer will allow them to design an object on paper and watch it literally come to life! We could print math manipulatives, tools for school or home, and be a problem solver.
