Instead of only solving problems on paper, they can now learn how to design and build 3D models that show how math works in real life. They explore shapes, symmetry, and measurement in fun, hands-on ways. Students are most excited about bringing their ideas to life. They love seeing 3D designs printed layer by layer. With the flexible TPU filament, they've made everything from geometric fidgets to bendable keychains, blending math, art, and creativity. It's inspiring to see how this tool sparks imagination and teamwork. One student who once struggled with math has truly shone during this project. Thanks to your support, my students are not just learning math — they're discovering how to use it to create, solve problems, and believe in themselves.","fullyFundedDate":1756156538948,"projectUrl":"project/3-d-printing-creations/9565350/","projectTitle":"3-D Printing Creations","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. MORENO","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2082299_orig.jpg?crop=1439,1439,x258,y212&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695581753935","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2082299"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_16054","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":583,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":85,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.1,"schoolId":16054,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Spring Oaks Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Spring Oaks Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/spring-branch-independent-school-district/spring-oaks-middle-school/16054"}
