Turning Young Minds Into Makers: 3D Printing And Creative Tech

Help me give my students technology tools like a mobile printer stand, a 3D printer, and a color all-in-one printer so they can create, design, and bring their ideas to life while keeping our classroom organized and efficient.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Dwyane Thomas's classroom raised $591

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

In our classroom, learning is an adventure—hands-on, creative, and fueled by curiosity. My students are a bright, resilient, and determined group who come to class eager to learn and explore new ideas. They thrive when given opportunities to create, problem-solve, and collaborate.

With your support, they will have access to tools that can take their learning to the next level.

The mobile printer stand will help us keep our technology organized and accessible, the all-in-one color printer will allow us to produce vibrant visuals and high-quality student work, and the 3D printer will empower students to turn their designs into real objects they can touch, test, and improve.
