My students need another kit of 3Doodler pens, so we have a full class set and students can truly grasp the idea of 3D printing.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ballou's classroom raised $752

My Students
Our school has a long history embedded into the community we serve. Students are excited to attend school where many of their parents and even grandparents went before them. I have an exciting opportunity to start a STEAM Resource program for the first time! When you walk into my classroom you won't see students sitting in desks diligently taking notes, instead you'll see students brainstorming ideas, drawing images, building models, testing their solution, and more!
My students are spunky, inquisitive, and hardworking.
"I never knew school could be this fun!" a student shouted to a group member as they were working on a STEAM project. It is moments like these that push me to ensure that my students always have opportunities for hands-on, real-life learning experiences. It is wonderful donors, like yourself, that can help me to provide these experiences to our youngest learners!
My Project
Technology is ever changing and all around us! We constantly hear the saying that our students and children will be using the technology of the future. 3Doodler pens are part of that future! I had not even heard of them until recently and I want to be able to provide my students with any and all opportunities to get their hands on the latest technology.
3D printing has been all the buzz in recent years and it has finally been able to make its way into classrooms across the country.
These pens would allow me to give students an up close look at exactly how 3D printing works. They will be able to create designs right before their eyes that have been floating around in their head!
By having another set of 3Doodler pens in my classroom, I will be able to provide almost all of my students with their own pen! This will give them more class time to actually create their designs. I can already see my first graders creating sculptures and my fourth graders demonstrating their knowledge of Newton's Laws by creating parts for a marble roller coaster. The possibilities are endless when each student has a pen in their hand!
