My Project

This AnkerMake M5 3d printer will be used across several curriculums in three different grade levels. The 3d printer will allow for cross-curricular learning in ELA, Science, Math, and Robotics and introduce middle schoolers to the wonderful world of 3d modeling and printing. As our world moves more and more into a technological age, sparking interests in real-life career skills will not only spark our student's desire for learning, but place them on a path towards career paths in science, technology, and engineering. This 3d printer will also be used as a way to create custom swag and rewards for school organizations such as Esports, Kindness club, Robotics, and more.
