Engineering & Design Dreams: 3D Print Filament

Help me give my students the ability to complete their 3D printed projects for STEM class. We currently have a limited selection of colors and I would like to support their full creativity!

Seattle, WA Grades 6-8

My Students

I teach at a K-8 school focused on social justice. Our programs are built around supporting our students' exploration of their place in the world, and giving them the voice and the courage to build the communities they want to live in. In my classroom they explore science and engineering, diagnosing brain injuries from MRI images and building, testing and revising rocket designs as a team.

My students are passionate, creative, caring and brave.

Our middle school grades serve a diverse group of students, each one bringing a unique set of interests and needs to the classroom. I am honored to get to teach and learn alongside them, and get to know them better each year they are with us. I want to support them in becoming the best humans they can be, and though they will bring the energy, enthusiasm and love of learning, it is up to me (and you) to help supply them with the tools to use on their educational adventures.

My Project

Students in my STEM class have begun to explore 3D design and printing. They have moved beyond learning the basics and are creating their own original designs and engineering solutions to different problems.

I would like to support their full creativity by broadening the color options they have access to.

Buying more filament in more colors means they can begin to think about more complicated prints, learn how to adjust their designs and pause the process to change colors, and build things that are aesthetically pleasing to them as well as functional.
