My Project

Students are developing creative ideas using the engineering process and problem solving skills.

Project based learning will assist students in using imagination to create real-life models and inventions.

3D printing filament refills will be used to put item creating in CAD programs to reality. Items such as hot glue sticks will be used to put together models designed with groups and/or peers. STEM kits will be a great way to teach collaboration and team effort in order to reach a common goal.

Your donation to this project will be put to great use!
