My Project

Our students have boundless creativity, often brimming with ideas waiting to be materialized. They have enthusiastically been creating many different projects from candy dispensers, fidget spinners, and even making earrings for Mother's Day gifts.

Their increased interest in 3D printing has created a shortage in our class 3D printing filament.

By providing access to this technology, we foster a learning environment where innovation thrives, and students can fully explore their potential as creators and problem-solvers. Additionally, our class allows access to a technology that may be out of reach for many of our students. By continuing to offer 3D printing to students from all backgrounds, we are fostering a culture of inclusivity and innovation.
