Technology in the classroom is so much more than what we use at home. This technology helps students collaborate, explore, and bring their ideas to life. With the printer, they can design, create, and hold their learning in their hands, which makes abstract concepts concrete and sparks incredible excitement.\r\n\r\n The students are especially thrilled by the chance to watch their imaginations take shape layer by layer. We have just begun our class study of the software needed for creating their own 3D prints. Right now, the class is witnessing ornaments and fidgets being created. Alongside this, we've also established classroom norms for using our 3D printed fidgets. Many students find that fidgets help them focus, and we encourage their use as tools for concentration rather than toys. This balance allows students to stay engaged while respecting the learning environment.\r\n\r\n Your support ensures that our students not only have access to cutting‑edge technology but also learn how to use tools responsibly to enhance their learning, creativity, and confidence. Thank you for making this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1755725716407,"projectUrl":"project/dream-it-design-it-3d-print-it/9426508/","projectTitle":"Dream It, Design It, 3D Print It","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hunt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9083420_orig.png?crop=828,827,x0,y367&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687644913339","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mshunt13"},{"teacherId":3025640,"projectId":9405294,"letterContent":"From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you for doing meeting towards my public school classroom.
