My Project
Beginning last year, I started up the Makerspace Club at MJHS. By the end of the year, we reached over 30 students joining us in the library for one hour a week after school.
Our Adventurer 3, a 3D printer, was working nonstop this year.
We could use one or two more printers around to keep up with the demand! Some students turn their prints into keychains, some paint their project after the print is done! There are several free options for students to create their own projects, we use TinkerCad.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
