Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

To help 3rd–5th grade students bring their Tinkercad 3D print creations to life, I am requesting filament and paint pen markers. These materials will allow students to not only design and print their own unique objects but also personalize and decorate them, fostering creativity and hands-on engagement. Filament is essential for the printing process, while paint pens and markers empower students to add color, detail, and personality to their projects, turning simple prints into vibrant, finished creations. This combination supports both technical skills and artistic expression, making STEM learning more interactive and memorable for young learners.
