3D Visions for Kids

Help me give my students on the autism spectrums tools to help them facilitate their strengths. These 3D pens will help my students who are both verbal and non verbal bring their creative visions to life.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Crowson's classroom raised $495

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach the STEM Lab at an elementary school in SC. The entire school population comes to the STEM Lab. I teach grades 5k - 6th grade. This includes the general education population as well as our population of students on the Autism Spectrum. With this specific project, I am in need of more materials to meet the needs of my students on the Autism Spectrum.

My Project

3D printing technology positions students as creators. Instead of buying or consuming the creations of someone else they become inventors who can identify needs and create solutions. Using these pens with my students on the autism spectrum can help give them a voice that they would not normally have. Many children on the autism spectrum have unreleased creativity that needs an outlet. I am hoping to provide this outlet with these 3D pens. Even something as simple as writing their name with the 3D pen can give them something they can see and hold. Having opportunities for hands on kinesthetic learning will help my students become more successful lifelong learners.
