Future Engineers Need Better Tools!

Help me give my students the tools to turn their creative ideas into real-world prototypes through hands-on 3D printing. An upgraded printer will provide more reliable, high-quality prints to support their STEM, design, and problem-solving learning.

My Project

In my library, students are bursting with creativity and innovative ideas—they just need the right tools to bring them to life. With your support, I want to give my students better access to 3D design platforms by upgrading our current 3D printer. This will allow them to explore engineering, design thinking, and real-world problem solving in a hands-on, meaningful way.

Right now, our outdated 3D printer struggles to keep up with student demand and often fails mid-print, limiting opportunities for exploration and growth.

By upgrading our equipment, students will be able to design, test, and refine their projects using modern, reliable tools that match their ambition. Whether they’re creating custom prototypes, architectural models, or solving real-world challenges, this project will put powerful technology right at their fingertips.

Your donation will help create a learning environment where students don’t just learn about engineering—they live it. They'll gain experience with cutting-edge tools that build confidence, creativity, and skills they can take with them into future STEM careers.
