Celebrating 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
This project will empower my students to become makers, innovators, and creative thinkers. 3D pens support spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and design thinking. Students will be able to build geometric shapes, illustrating story elements, or creating models for science experiments.
Students will develop real-world skills while having a great time.
This tool fosters creativity and helps students understand abstract concepts. They will get a chance to imagine something and then build it right at their desks.
These pens will bring 3D printing into our classroom without the need for expensive printers, giving students access to cutting-edge creativity tools.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
