Empowering Creativity With 3D Printing

Help me give my students 3D printing resin to have their designs come to life!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Butler's classroom raised $506

This project is fully funded

My Project

Imagine a classroom where students can bring their ideas to life—where imagination meets innovation. With your support, we can make that a reality! We are seeking funding for Anycubic 3D printer resin and the Anycubic Wash and Cure Plus 3.0 to enhance our 3D printing capabilities and ensure safe, high-quality results.

3D printing is more than just a trend—it's a gateway to future careers in engineering, design, and technology.

By supporting this project, you're giving students hands-on experience with tools used in real-world industries. You're also helping foster creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

These tools will allow students to design, print, and finish their own 3D models—whether it's for engineering prototypes, artistic sculptures, or science fair projects. The Wash and Cure station ensures that each print is properly cleaned and cured, making them durable and classroom-safe.
