Because of your contributions, our STEM lab now proudly features a Bambu Lab P1S 3-D printer and it's already transforming learning in powerful ways.\r\n\r\nWe wasted no time putting it to use. All 120 of our fifth graders dove into design software to create their own 3-D robots. Once their designs were complete, I printed each student's unique creation, and they were thrilled to take their robots home. Giving them a tangible reminder of what they can dream and build.\r\n\r\nThe speed and versatility of the printer have been game-changing. We're now able to print in multiple colors and complete projects more efficiently, which means more hands-on opportunities for every student. Most importantly, my students now have foundational experience in 3-D design—a skill that sparks creativity, builds confidence, and opens doors to future innovation.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just fund a machine—it ignited curiosity, empowered young creators, and made STEM come alive in our classroom.
