Students are more motivated and excited when they can see their ideas come to life. We have used our printer to help with Problem-solving, creativity and collaboration. Students learn to identify problems and create solutions through the design process. Our printer has acted as a tool for creativity, allowing students to design and build their own unique projects, such as custom bubble wands or bubble makers. 3D printing projects often require students to work together, improving their communication and teamwork skills. This helps my students learn to collaborate with each other. \r\nThank you so much for your donations to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746468286290,"projectUrl":"project/come-build-with-us/9281887/","projectTitle":"Come Build With Us!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Trembath","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1931205_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449014075716","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-trembath"},{"teacherId":1931205,"projectId":9192738,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom!
