With 3D printing, students will be able to take something from an idea in their mind, turn it into a digital design, and then see it become a real object they can hold. That process builds problem-solving, creativity, perseverance, spatial reasoning, and engineering thinking.\r\n\r\nThe multicolor feature is especially exciting because it will allow students to create projects that look more polished, detailed, and connected to their original designs. Instead of printing only basic one-color models, students will be able to add labels, details, patterns, and creative elements that make their work easier to understand and more meaningful to share.\r\n\r\nWe have had a few setup challenges, and I am still learning all the ways to use this printer well, but I already have big plans for how students will use it. My goal is for students to create models, prototypes, classroom tools, service-learning products, and creative designs that connect to science, engineering, problem-solving, and real-world needs.\r\n\r\nYour donation is helping give students access to technology that many of them would not otherwise get to use in an elementary classroom. I am so grateful for your support and excited for what my students will be able to create as we continue learning and building with this new tool.","fullyFundedDate":1768423249008,"projectUrl":"project/from-problem-to-prototype/9972498/","projectTitle":"From Problem to Prototype","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Griffith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9397213_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750432352634","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/whes-gate"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9177","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":446,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":65.0,"schoolId":9177,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Weatherly Heights Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Weatherly Heights Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/huntsville-city-school-district/weatherly-heights-elementary-school/9177"}
