Many of our students learn best through hands-on experiences, and the printers have made learning much more interactive. Students are practicing problem-solving, math, design, technology, and communication skills while creating projects. They are learning that it is okay to make mistakes, make adjustments, and try again—which is an important lesson both in the classroom and in life. The printers have also helped students see how the skills they are learning in school connect to real-world careers in technology, engineering, design, and manufacturing.\r\n\r\nWhat about the new product is most exciting to your students?\r\nThe most exciting part for students is watching an idea go from something on a computer screen to a physical object in their hands. There is a real sense of accomplishment when they see the printer begin creating something they designed. Students are excited to experiment with different designs and discover what they can create. For many of them, this is technology they may not have had an opportunity to use before, so having access to it in our classroom has opened up a whole new area of learning and creativity.\r\n\r\nAre there particular students who have especially warmed to this new technology, and how so?\r\nAbsolutely. Some students who have struggled to engage with traditional classroom activities have become very interested in the 3D printers because they provide a different way to demonstrate what they know. Students who enjoy building, creating, taking things apart, or working with technology have especially gravitated toward the project. I have also seen students who are typically hesitant to participate become more willing to collaborate with classmates and share their ideas.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding parts has been seeing students gain confidence. They are realizing that they can design something, troubleshoot when it doesn't work, make improvements, and eventually create something they are proud of. That experience gives them a sense of ownership and success that carries over into other areas of their education.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful to the donors who made this possible. Your generosity has provided our students with more than just 3D printers—you have given them an opportunity to create, explore, problem-solve, and see themselves as capable learners and future innovators.","fullyFundedDate":1778183668092,"projectUrl":"project/printing-the-future-bringing-3d-design/10140874/","projectTitle":"Printing the Future: Bringing 3D Design to Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rea-Rodrigues","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2889580_orig.png?crop=423,423,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1773242280823","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/d4rocks"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79696","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":39,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":91,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":79696,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kings Lake Education Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kings Lake Education Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/corcoran-joint-unified-school-district/kings-lake-education-center/79696"}
