Scanning the Future: Empowering Stem Innovators With 3D Technology

Help me give my students an Afinia Einstar Handheld 3D Scanner to enhance their STEM education through hands-on, project-based learning in 3D modeling, design, and real-world engineering applications.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Rincones (iTeachPi)'s classroom raised $1,550

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

My students are curious, innovative, and eager to solve real-world problems through hands-on learning. They are part of a dynamic robotics and engineering program where they tackle challenges with creativity, teamwork, and a passion for STEM. Many of my students come from underserved backgrounds, yet their determination to learn and succeed shines through in every project they undertake.

The Afinia Einstar Handheld 3D Scanner will open new doors for them by providing cutting-edge technology that enhances their learning experience.

With this scanner, my students will gain the ability to capture precise, real-world objects and translate them into digital 3D models. This hands-on, project-based approach will help them develop critical skills in engineering, design, and problem-solving. From prototyping innovative solutions to creating custom parts for robotics, this tool will empower them to turn their ideas into reality.

Our goal is to use the 3D scanner to bridge the gap between imagination and application. Students will learn how this technology is used in fields like manufacturing, healthcare, and game design, making their education more relevant to real-world careers. This project also fosters collaboration and critical thinking, as students work together to scan, analyze, and design solutions for complex challenges.

What makes my students special is their resilience and their drive to embrace opportunities. They thrive on exploring new technologies and pushing their limits, even in the face of limited resources. With this scanner, they’ll gain an edge in their STEM education and a chance to dream big about their futures. Your support will help provide an enriching, inspiring experience that prepares them for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
