From Digital to Physical: 3D Models

Help me give my students a 3D printer with all the fun accessories!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. O'Brien's classroom raised $1,002

This project is fully funded

My Project

It's time to take the digital and make it physical. In our Introduction to Computer Science class, we have a unit on 3D modeling in which students create their own designs and models. Now, we want to be able to print these models. In addition, we want students to gain the hands-on experience of using a 3D printer. They will have the choice of different color filaments and can then see their digital creations become physical items. After too many months of learning digitally, we are ready to gain some hands-on experience.
