More Affordable and Accessible Alternative To 3D Printers

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alison Douglas's classroom raised $280

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach elementary gifted students from 11 different schools in Kanawha County, West Virginia. We recently got two 3D printers for our class. My students are so engaged and excited to learn and create with 3D printing. I am writing this project for 3D Pens and Filament.

3D pens would allow my students to draw in three dimensions, offering benefits like ease of use, portability, and instant gratification.3D Pens are more affordable and accessible alternative to 3D printers and they can improve hand-eye coordination.

3D pens also offer creative freedom, that would allow my students to create free-form shapes and designs. Thank your for your time and interest in the education of children.
