Over the last few years, students in my technology major classes have been learning a plethora of different technology platforms. In addition, they have been introduced to how to bring some of these skills to life.
We have started a new project trying to bring together their knowledge of 3D printing, laser cutting, and circuitry into creating our own mini golf course.
Students have sketched their own designs and are getting close to their prototype builds. In order to make these builds, we need some more tools so that all students can build at the same time without having to wait on the few supplies we have. The students are so excited for their course to come alive and we need just a little help to make that happen! This cutter will also help for an abundance or projects in the future as we continue to grow the program.
Nearly all 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
