These 3D printing pens have opened up the possibility for students to craft and visualize their Calculus in ways that they would not have previously been able to. We've used them to draw 3 dimensional solids that otherwise would've only existed on paper and in our imaginations!\r\n\r\nMost recently, we have used these pens to create an \"optimal\" can for common products. In this cumulative project, students used calculus to measure cans for objects like tuna, soda, energy drinks, soup, and glass jars, then design their own containers that use the least amount of material. Much to their surprise, the dimensions they came up with do not match what the factories have chosen. At the end of this project, students used the 3D pens to create their \"optimal\" can. \r\n\r\nThis project is just the beginning of what we plan to do with the pens but already, they have given the students concrete examples of the abstract calculus they've been working so hard to earn . Without your help, we wouldn't be ending the year on such a high note!

When finished many students wore their finished products during class and a lot of them were excited to take their hats home or to gift to family and friends. \r\n\r\nThis fibers related lesson has led to more fiber work such as embroidery and weaving.","fullyFundedDate":1769300912642,"projectUrl":"project/wearable-art/9961636/","projectTitle":"Wearable Art","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hines","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2133148_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708034286386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mshinesartroom"},{"teacherId":566532,"projectId":9208043,"letterContent":"I would like to express my gratitude for your generous support of our classroom project.
