Maglev Trains

My Project

These students love to 3D model different designs and want to make those designs a reality.

The 3D filament will be used to print examples of their designs to test out as well as the base for their trains to run on the track in class.

The additional supplies are for storing their projects as well as making their learning easier by providing classroom supplies needed to enhance the learning. This includes tools for the 3D printer, wire for soldering, pegboards for storage of tools, and headphones to help listen to instructions
