Students not only built their own mini wind turbines, but they also had the opportunity to redesign, adjust, and improve their turbines to see if they could increase efficiency. This experimentation allowed them to test their ideas, observe changes in real time, and collect meaningful data. Because they were able to build, revise, and try again, the learning experience became far more engaging and memorable. Students were excited, motivated, and eager to push their creativity, discovering firsthand that science is not just something they learn about, but something they do. \r\n\r\nMy students love the 3D pens. They have had a powerful impact on my students because they can transform their ideas into something they can see, touch, and create. When students use 3D pens, they move from being passive learners to active designers. They develop stronger spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and creativity as they draw objects in three dimensions. This type of learning also helps students understand abstract concepts more concretely, boosts confidence as they see their ideas come to life, and encourages perseverance as they revise and improve their creations.","fullyFundedDate":1757817528258,"projectUrl":"project/3d-learning/9608037/","projectTitle":"3D Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Manzanares","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9360315"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53999","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":17,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":84,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":74.3,"schoolId":53999,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Spring Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Spring Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/elko-county-school-district/spring-creek-elementary-school/53999"}
