Thanks to your support, our students—especially those with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)—now have the opportunity to engage in reading like never before.\r\n\r\nThe addition of a 3D printer will allow us to bring stories to life in ways that are hands-on, visual, and deeply engaging. Our students will be able to print models of characters, settings, and objects from the books we read, making literature more accessible and exciting. The tactile nature of 3D printing will help them understand complex concepts and connect with the material on a deeper level. For our students who learn best through visuals and hands-on experiences, this resource is invaluable.\r\n\r\nYour donation is already making a difference by offering new opportunities for creative learning and sparking a renewed passion for reading in our classroom. With this tool, we can ensure that each student's unique learning style is supported and celebrated.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create a classroom environment where all students—regardless of their learning challenges—can thrive. Your support not only impacts their education today but also gives them the confidence and motivation to succeed in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1735586134424,"projectUrl":"project/3d-printer-and-filament/8871275/","projectTitle":"3d Printer and Filament","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Greb","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3743836_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y409&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724771860053","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3743836"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133846","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":580,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":61,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.7,"schoolId":133846,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dickson Preparatory Steam Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dickson Preparatory Steam Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/woodland-hills-school-district/dickson-preparatory-steam-academy/133846"}
