My students have just received a wonderful gift of a 3D printer for our classroom. They are so excited to be able to print their designs! Now it's time to document the design process and display their work for others to see!
My school is a large junior high school school in a suburb in Illinois.
Over half of our students are low income and we have a large English language learner population.
Our students are creative and hard working and all are able to be successful in my STEM class.
Almost all of the students in the school take my technology class at some point during the year. That means almost every student will be able to learn about 3D design and printing!
My Project
My students are learning to use the tools in Autodesk Inventor and are very creative and technical. They have learned to sketch, dimension, and create 3D models just like real engineers! We recently received a 3D printer so they can see their projects come to life! They will use these materials to document their work in portfolios and display their 3D designs on keychains and lanyards.
Donations to this project will allow my students to show what they have learned in the Design & modeling class.
They will be proud to show their work to others and have their sketches and CAD drawings on display in their portfolios.
