My Project
I am a special education teacher dedicated to providing hands-on, engaging learning experiences for my students with disabilities. With access to a 3D printer, my students have discovered the joy of designing and creating custom tools that enhance their learning and independence. However, to continue these innovative projects, we need a steady supply of 3D printer filament.
3D printing allows my students to develop problem-solving skills, improve fine motor coordination, and create adaptive tools tailored to their unique needs.
Whether it's designing custom pencil grips, tactile learning aids, or assistive technology devices, every spool of filament brings new possibilities to life.
Your donation will ensure that my students can continue exploring, designing, and innovating. With your support, we can empower them with the tools they need to thrive.
Thank you for making a difference in their education and future!
