As an educator of bright and enthusiastic 6th graders, I am committed to providing my students with opportunities that inspire creativity, enhance problem-solving skills, and prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow. A 3D printer would bring these opportunities to life in our classroom.
A 3D printer would allow my students to transform their ideas into tangible objects, fostering a sense of creativity and imagination.
Whether working in our design thinking unit creating unique prototypes, or crafting intricate solutions to real world problems, my students would explore and expand their skills in new and exciting ways. The process of designing and printing objects requires students to think critically, and solve problems. They must plan their designs, troubleshoot errors, to develop their creations.
By adding this technology into my classroom my students would be equip with the knowledge and skills relevant to various growing industries, and real-world scenarios where these abilities are invaluable. It would help to inspire them to pursue innovative futures and promote collaborative learning as students problem solve for the future.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
