This tool has elevated our design and prototyping capabilities, allowing students to quickly turn CAD models into functional parts for our robots. Students aren't just learning about design; they're applying engineering principles in real time—testing, iterating, and refining parts based on performance and competition needs.\r\n\r\nTo ensure our teams maximize the printer's potential, a local business partner provided expert training to both teams on proper 3D printing techniques and best practices in CAD design. These sessions sparked excitement and confidence among students who had never used professional-grade additive manufacturing tools. The training covered model orientation, structural considerations, filament selection, and troubleshooting common issues, giving our students practical skills they apply every week.\r\n\r\nWe are committed to ongoing professional development in 3D printing and design. Our plans include regular follow-up workshops and peer-led mini-training sessions, in which advanced students help new learners build their skills. The result has been not only better robot parts but also increased student ownership, problem-solving, and readiness for future STEM pathways.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting hands-on learning that directly impacts student growth, teamwork, and innovation in robotics!","fullyFundedDate":1757288067903,"projectUrl":"project/custom-creations-empowering-our-ftc-rob/9690311/","projectTitle":"Custom Creations: Empowering Our FTC Robotics Team With 3d Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferrette-Clark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5366048_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1525205936235","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5366048"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6663","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":393,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":60,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":60.6,"schoolId":6663,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Military Magnet Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Military Magnet Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/charleston-county-school-district/military-magnet-academy/6663"}
