Printing With Panthers

My Project

My students have been eager to experiment with new technologies and expand their learning. I'd like to help them bring their visions to life with a 3D printer.

Students participate in many activities at our school, from sports to academic competitions, and we'd like to use this technology for students to design their own year end awards.

With this goal in mind, students will have a purpose for learning how to create items with the 3D printer. The awards they develop will also be more significant than the plain medals the school might otherwise purchase.
