My Project

Our classroom is ready to take learning to the next level with 3D printing! A 3D printer opens the door to hands-on, project-based learning across subjects—STEM, art, literacy, and more. Students can design and create models of everything from geometric shapes to historical landmarks, science prototypes, and even tools to support their classmates with special needs. The colorful filament allows for engaging, creative builds that bring lessons to life. This technology fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation, giving students real-world experience with tools used in modern industries. With your support, we can inspire future engineers, designers, and creators by giving them the resources to explore, build, and learn in three dimensions.
