Help me give my students an SLA 3D printer so they can print pieces for class games!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Landry's classroom raised $545

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Students need to train for adult life the same way that professional athletes train for championship games: hard work, dedication, and a growth mindset. By the same token, though, they should take joy and pride in that training, and it is my job to give them that opportunity.
The first thing my students hear each day is, "Welcome, come on in and get logged in; we've got a lot of work to do!" Their work is to learn, and they just need the tools.
They always do the rest. Most come from families experiencing poverty, and about half of them are first-generation immigrants. Many have come from refugee camps and have seen violence in their homelands. Almost two-thirds of them are or were English language learners. At home, they are hearing Somali, Spanish, Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, Ethiopian, Arabic, and other languages, in addition to English. This may sound like a recipe for chaos and disharmony, but they mix and mingle freely, finding friendship across boundaries of language, skin color, and religion. What strikes me most about these students is how many of them are so eager to learn and reach for a better life for themselves and their families.
My Project
My students will be designing board, card, and role playing games to go along with the literature we will read this year. We want to be able to print game pieces and game board tiles for the kids to use while designing and playtesting their games. The resin printer and curing station will let them print game pieces that will stand up to the kind of hard use that only middle school students can dish out.
My students are tired of online learning, and need learning tools they can hold in their hands!
I want them to see Frankenstein's monster evading his cruel creator, Mercutio, Tybalt, and Romeo bandy insults and blades across Verona's streets, and Rod Walker survive in the jungles of Tangaroa.
Please help these kids have fun while learning to write technical documents, collaborate in-person, and practice usability testing!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
