Tech Meets Art: Empowering Creativity with 3D Printing and Sublimation

Help me give my students access to advanced technology and tools, such as an iMac, a 3D printer, and a sublimation printer, to enhance their creativity and hands-on learning in art and design.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Roberts's classroom raised $2,563

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am continually inspired by my students' creativity, curiosity, and willingness to explore new ideas. They possess a unique ability to think outside the box and approach challenges with enthusiasm. Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives enrich our classroom environment, fostering collaboration and innovation. I love how they eagerly embrace technology and are always excited to learn how to transform their ideas into tangible creations.

The iMac will provide students with access to powerful design software such as Adobe Creative Suite and CAD programs.

This will enable them to bring their artistic visions to life, whether through graphic design, digital art, or 3D modeling.

With the iMac, students can research various art techniques, design principles, and innovative projects. This will broaden their understanding of art and technology, inspiring them to create unique works.

The 3D printer will allow students to turn their digital designs into physical objects. This hands-on experience enhances their understanding of the design process, from conceptualization to execution. As they navigate challenges in 3D printing, such as design flaws or material limitations, students will develop critical problem-solving skills and resilience, essential for any future endeavor.

The sublimation printer will enable students to create custom items, such as T-shirts, mugs, and posters, integrating their own designs. This personalization fosters a sense of ownership and pride in their work.
