Think It. Make It. 3D Print It!

Help me give my students a 3D printer and materials to learn how to use it so they can bring their creative ideas to life, develop hands-on skills, and explore real-world applications of science, technology, engineering, and math.

My Project

My students are curious, creative, and full of big ideas—they’re natural problem-solvers who love hands-on learning. What I love most about them is their eagerness to explore how things work and their excitement when they bring their own ideas to life.

A 3D printer will open up a whole new world of possibilities for them.

It will allow them to prototype inventions, create models for science and math projects, and express themselves in new and innovative ways. From designing their own tools to printing geometric shapes or historical artifacts, every printed piece will deepen their understanding of the subjects we explore.

This project isn’t just about a machine—it’s about giving students the power to turn imagination into reality and build confidence in their ability to shape the future.
