From Imagination to Creation...3D Printing Makes Anything Possible

Help me give my students the materials needed to turn ideas into reality! My students use CAD software to design useful products that they then 3D print. We need filament to make ideas become real!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Shelton's classroom raised $458

My Project

As a middle school engineering teacher, I teach students how to use CAD software to turn their ideas into tangible and useful products. Students come up with some amazing designs that can make new things possible, or improve on things that already exist. There is no limit to their imagination and the potential for innovative ideas.

The only thing holding them back is the material needed to turn their ideas into reality...3D printing filament.

With your help, my students will become dreamers, designers, creators, and engineers! They have the skills and the desire. They simply need the resources to complete the task.
