Special thanks to Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation Team, Rosa Galera, Norma Leon, and the Amazon Future Engineer Initiative. \r\n\r\nThanks to your contributions, our students had the chance to learn about the Prusa MK4 3D printer. They gained hands-on experience feeding and changing filaments, slicing their creations in TinkerCad, and converting STL files into G-code. This experience not only sparked their interest in technology and engineering but also encouraged them to think creatively.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the emphasis on literacy was a wonderful touch. By writing about their creations and giving credit to model printouts that weren't their own, my students developed valuable skills in documentation and collaboration.\r\n\r\nThe joy they experienced throughout the 3D printing process was truly inspiring. From creating small keychains to constructing large castles with dragons, every project was met with enthusiasm and excitement.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your unwavering support and for making such a positive impact on my students' learning experiences. We are truly grateful for your partnership.","fullyFundedDate":1742325637148,"projectUrl":"project/an-mk4-3d-printer-for-masterpieces/8979119/","projectTitle":"An MK4 3D Printer for Masterpieces","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Leon-Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3961463_orig.png?crop=379,379,x46,y12&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1668119313601","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/leon-rodriguez"},{"teacherId":307101,"projectId":8979927,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing my project to donate to!\r\n\r\nYour generous donation has made a huge impact on the reading of my second and third graders.

Having engaging chapter books that keep them reading from beginning to end is the key to turning kids who read into kids who love to read! My students are often carrying the books around that you donated like invaluable treasures. They even bring them to recess!
