From Pen to Plan: A Creative 3D Span

Help me give my students 3D pens and filament to provide hands-on opportunities to bring their creative ideas to life.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Grant's classroom raised $882

My Project

The 3D pens and filament will provide my students with an engaging, hands-on tool to enhance their creativity and problem-solving skills. These items allow them to visualize and construct tangible representations of their ideas, making abstract concepts more accessible. For example, students can design prototypes, create 3D models of geometric shapes, or bring elements of their storytelling to life. The use of 3D pens will also foster critical thinking and collaboration as students work on STEM-related projects that integrate art, science, and technology.

My primary goal is to empower my students to explore their creativity and develop skills in design, engineering, and innovation.

By incorporating 3D pens into the classroom, I aim to make learning more interactive and engaging while encouraging students to take ownership of their ideas. I also hope to inspire confidence in their abilities to solve real-world problems and think outside the box. Ultimately, this project will help create a classroom environment that nurtures curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

My students are a diverse group of enthusiastic learners who are eager to explore new ideas and embrace challenges. They are incredibly creative and have a natural curiosity about the world around them. Many of them thrive when given opportunities to learn in hands-on and visual ways, which makes the inclusion of 3D pens an ideal fit for their learning styles. Despite facing various challenges, my students consistently demonstrate resilience, creativity, and a desire to grow. They deserve access to tools and resources that will unlock their full potential and prepare them for future success.
