My Project

My students are curious, driven, and full of ideas and they just need the tools to bring their dreams to life. I teach AVID, a program built around college/career readiness and critical thinking, and I’m working to weave in more opportunities for hands-on STEM problem-solving and entrepreneurship experiences.

A Bambu Lab P2S AMS Combo 3D Printer would level-up the AVID curriculum and the student experience in my classroom.

With its multi-material capability and professional-grade precision, students won’t just learn about innovation - they’ll actually do it. They’ll design prototypes, solve real problems, pitch product ideas, and develop the kind of creative confidence that follows them into college and careers.

This printer isn’t just a cool gadget. It’s a bridge between a student’s imagination and something they can hold in their hands. For many of my students, this could be their first experience with maker technology and that first experience matters.
