Print, Prototype, and Create in Stem Classrooms

Help me give my students the opportunity to design and 3D print custom components for robotics, electronics, and engineering projects. Through hands-on prototyping, they’ll develop problem-solving skills and learn the iterative design process while building real-world, functional solutions.

My Project

My students are inquisitive, imaginative problem-solvers who excel when given opportunities to design, experiment, and refine their own ideas. They enjoy hands-on learning experiences and take pride in transforming concepts into functional solutions. What truly sets them apart is their resilience; they view mistakes as learning opportunities and consistently support one another throughout the creative process.

With access to a 3D printer, students will be able to design and produce custom components for robotics, electronics, and engineering projects rather than depending solely on pre-made parts.

They will develop skills in CAD design, prototyping, and iterative problem-solving as they test, evaluate, and improve their creations. My goal is to equip students with the tools and experiences needed to think like engineers, collaborate on meaningful real-world challenges, and gain confidence by bringing their ideas to life.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
