Help me give my students a 3D printer to turn their animations into creations.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Pena's classroom raised $393

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
We have almost 700 students enrolled at our campus. The majority of our students are English language learners and qualify for free lunch programs. We offer an after-school program that gives low socioeconomic students a variety of classes to choose from and develop certain skills. These range from cooking to computer coding. As the computer lab teacher, I see all students in class at least once a week.
They come eager to learn and excited to take on any challenge.
They look forward to the special classes they have available.
My Project
I am requesting a 3D printer for my Gifted and Talented students. These are bright kids that do projects and competitions outside of the standard curriculum. I research and try to come up with engineering problems for them to solve. For example they had to create a bridge that could hold a 10lb weight for at least a minute. They also had a competition to find who's boat could hold the most amount of pennies. The boats could only be made from aluminum foil.
This 3D printer will serve to create activities that take academic concepts from the theoretical to the practical.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
