My Project

Help my students by replacing an aging 3D printer. 3D printers are frequently used in the makerspace, and students use them for so many different subjects all the time. Having an aging problematic printer makes projects take longer to complete.

My students are passionate about bringing their ideas to life with the use of the 3D printer, they have created board games, keychains, and products for a "Shark Tank" project, all with the use of a 3D printer.

Their creativity is endless when they are able to see a digital idea turn into a physical object. Having the ability to hold your creation in your hand after it prints is an amazing feeling that I want for all my students.

Mr. Valentini will only receive his materials if this project is fully funded by September 2.
