Every year, I teach my students how to design in 3-D. This is much more engaging when students get to print and use the item they have designed. This year, students will design a fidget spinner. They will need the materials in this project to utilize our 3-D printer. We have 2 3-D printers that work well but need the filament to print out the design. The different filament colors are used by the printer to melt and design their project. The students will then take their printed design and insert a bearing into the middle of their fidget spinner. The printed fidget spinner will also serve as a keepsake memory of their time in elementary school, as they complete this project at the end of their graduating year from this school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
