My students need a GoPro Hero6 to record time lapses and slow motion recordings of our 3D printer in action.

My Students
We are a Title I K-5 elementary school located in the heart of North Portland. We have a unique population of students from over 20 different countries. 100 percent of our students receive free or reduced lunch. We try and address as many needs as possible at our school, but often lack the funding to provide the technological resources we need.
Many of our English Language Learners come to our school with no prior education.
The challenge of learning English and building proficiency in content subjects is overwhelming for many of our students. A lack of prior schooling has many of our refugee students completing schoolwork several grade levels behind their peers.
My Project
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our 3D printers to inspire our English Language Learners to draw a prototype of an animal, artifact, or public place that reminds them of their first language country. We also are planning to build 3D printed rockets to launch near the end of the school year. Typically, most of our 3D prints will take 2 to 4 hours to complete and we would like to record a shortened time lapse of our 3D prints in action.
With your help and these supplies, our students will be able to see their 3D prints come to life from start to finish.
This ensures that we are able to make the most use of our time in ESL since we only have 30 minutes with the kids.
More than half of students from low‑income households
