My students were beyond excited when they heard that we would be receiving more 3D pens. Until we received the new pens, we only had a few previously - enough for approximately about a third of the art club to use them at one time. And when kiddos are working on a special project, as you can probably guess, they often take a substantial amount of time to perfect their work (and are less willing to let someone else use the 3D pen)! So when they learned that we would be getting 12 additional pens with more filament and tools, I'm not sure that \"excited\" adequately describes how they felt!\r\n\r\nMy art club students have truly been thrilled with the new materials and were so engaged when we received them that they even wanted to come in on their breaks and recesses during the school day to finish projects they had started! Thank you for helping me to engage students in a hands-on and entertaining activity that has captured their interest (with no end in sight). There really aren't enough words to convey how thankful I am for you and your willingness to donate so that the art club kiddos can enjoy themselves!
