The 3D printer has already made a huge impact on my students and the other students in my school. Students were so excited to begin the school year off with a project they designed and were able to print. Now that we have a faster and more efficient printer, more students have been able to get their projects printed.\r\n\r\nAll 90 sixth grade students have learned how to design on 3D software. We took this knowledge and applied it to our unit on plant an animal cells. With partners they have been able to show their understanding of cells through 3D design and printing. This has been both educational and highly engaging. Students who often do not do assignments have been involved in this project at every level.","fullyFundedDate":1746540469610,"projectUrl":"project/creativity-comes-to-life/9164837/","projectTitle":"Creativity Comes to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dickinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ndickinson"},{"teacherId":8700075,"projectId":9235062,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom!
