The addition of 3D technology has truly transformed learning in our classroom. Many of our students are using it as a creative, hands-on learning tool at school and is something entirely new for them. The 3D printer has allowed students to move beyond imagining ideas to actually building them. Instead of simply reading about scientific concepts or design principles, students can now prototype, test, and revise their work—mirroring the real-world processes used by engineers and inventors. This has helped them develop stronger problem-solving skills, spatial reasoning, and confidence in their ability to bring ideas to life.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students is watching their designs become real, tangible objects. There is a special kind of engagement that happens when a student sees a project they created on a screen slowly take shape on the printer bed. They love the sense of ownership and accomplishment that comes with printing their own creations—everything from geometric models to custom keychains to small engineering challenges we've incorporated into lessons.\r\n\r\nA few students, in particular, have truly thrived with access to this technology. One student who is typically very quiet in class has become a leader during design sessions, helping others troubleshoot their files and offering creative suggestions. Another student who often struggles with traditional assignments has found success in 3D modeling; the visual and hands-on nature of the work gives him a new way to show his understanding. These moments have shown us how powerful 3D technology can be in unlocking students' potential and giving them meaningful ways to express their ideas.\r\n\r\nI have shared some pictures of our recent project. We learned about symmetry and then use the concept to design snowflake ornaments. We decorated our school holiday trees with the ornaments and will take them home before the holiday recess. \r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our students are not only learning about the future—they're building it.","fullyFundedDate":1758898879593,"projectUrl":"project/dream-it-design-it/9723590/","projectTitle":"Dream It, Design It!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Calderon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp119818_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1457655262219","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/119818"},{"teacherId":3132876,"projectId":9837741,"letterContent":"Thank you for making this project possible.

I am looking forward to showing and teaching my students these games. \r\nWe also got a magnet activity tub. This will give them some early practice with how magnets work. It will definitely help my science center.\r\nLastly, we got some real bugs to observe.

Because of you, our students now have a PECS picture board that gives them something truly life-changing: a way to express themselves.\r\n\r\nMany of my students struggle with verbal communication, and not being able to share their needs can lead to frustration, anxiety, and challenging behaviors.

This simple act—choosing a picture—has already brought moments of relief, joy, and connection.\r\n\r\nThe board is helping students communicate choices (snack, activities, breaks), express emotions before behaviors escalate, understand routines and expectations through clear visuals, build confidence by being heard and understood, develop early communication skills that set a foundation for future language.\r\n\r\nOne of my students who rarely speaks picked up a new picture card and proudly used it to request a break. Instead of becoming overwhelmed, he was able to communicate his needs in a positive, safe way.
