In my STEM classroom, technology is not just a tool—it is a bridge between abstract concepts and tangible understanding. The 3D printer allows students to move beyond theory and into creation. The printer has fostered resilience—students learn that mistakes are not failures, but opportunities to adjust and improve. In this way, the technology is helping them develop both technical skills and the growth mindset essential for success in STEM fields.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most about the 3D printer is the sense of possibility it brings. For many of them, this is the first time they have had access to professional-grade technology that mirrors what engineers, architects, and medical researchers use in their careers. The moment the printer began its first project, the classroom buzzed with anticipation. Students crowded around, watching layer by layer as their digital designs became physical reality. They are thrilled by the idea that they can invent something new. This enthusiasm is not just about the novelty of the machine; it is about the empowerment they feel when they realize they can be creators, not just consumers, of technology.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially warmed to this new technology in ways that highlight its impact. One student, who often struggled with traditional assignments, has found a new confidence in designing models for the printer. His creativity and persistence shine when he explains how he adjusted his design to make it print successfully. The 3D printer has opened doors for students to discover strengths they didn't know they had. It has given them ownership of their learning, pride in their accomplishments, and a vision of what they can achieve in the future. Your support has not only provided a piece of equipment—it has ignited inspiration, built confidence, and created opportunities that will ripple through our classroom for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1763604179947,"projectUrl":"project/from-ideas-to-impact-help-us-3d-create/9904501/","projectTitle":"From Ideas to Impact: Help us 3D Create!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bilodeau","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8667352_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662744076005","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8667352"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_86424","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":78,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":28,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":90.0,"schoolId":86424,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tupelo High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tupelo High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/tupelo-public-schools/tupelo-high-school/86424"}
