STEM Printing Extravaganza

Help me give my students STEM learning and art experiences for my Exploratory Class with these 3D printers and supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McKay's classroom raised $834

This project is fully funded

My Students

Awesome Middle School Kids that are in need of supplies to learn and compete in a world where they have less than other schools. My school is located in Michigan and in a very rural area. Choices in materials is limited in our school. We have a 100% free and reduced lunch rate.

These kids love hands on learning and having some freedom to create the things that they are learning about.

My Project

My Middle School Students have a Exploratory class where they can use STEM to help them with the learning in their core classes. WE do a variety of hands on learning in this class and I would love to incorporate 3D printing into a few of their lessons. Art is also a class that has been removed due to funding in our school. This would help to supplement that loss for students.

New research from Macquarie University’s Department of Educational Studies and education technology company Makers Empire finds 3D printing integration can boost creativity, critical thinking and design skills among primary school students.

Researchers involved in the project, which took place between August 2017 to July 2018, saw increased levels of student engagement and educator confidence in the 24 classrooms that used the 3D modeling and printing applications.
