Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are very enthusiastic with what our 3D printers have been able to create. However, we would love to add new color options. Giving my students the ability to select from a wider array of colors when 3D printing is my goal with these PLA filament rolls. I will continue to work with the students to print customized 3D printed chess pieces. The addition of these new filament colors will give the students even more personalized control of their own designs.

3D printing in elementary education continues to be unique compared to other technologies.

The exploration of 3D printing, from design to production, as well as demonstrations and participatory access, will open up new possibilities for learning activities. A 3D printed object held in the hands of the student can bridge the gap between simple visual perception and three-dimensional spatial visualization. Something as simple as the act of rotating and observing a seven-inch model can have a profound effect on students.
