While we already had one 3D printer that we used regularly, adding an extra printer and more filament has significantly reduced the lag time between prints. This has allowed more students to access the technology, work efficiently, and complete high-quality projects on time. It's not just about printing objects, it's about building skills in design, engineering, and problem-solving that they'll carry with them for years to come.\r\n\r\nStudents love seeing their digital designs come to life, and the ability to physically hold something they created is incredibly rewarding. For example, in our Transportation Modeling event, Alyssa designed and 3D printed a food truck, along with detailed accessories. Her design won at the state level, and she is now heading to the TSA national conference in Nashville. In our Mechanical Engineering event, students used 3D-printed wheels to build a mousetrap-powered car, which also qualified for nationals. Our Off the Grid team, who placed fourth at the state conference, 3D printed their entire house model, including the water wheel, greenhouse, sidewalk, and river system.\r\n\r\n3D printing has not only elevated the quality of their projects but also deepened their understanding of current technology used in engineering and design fields. Your support has directly contributed to their success, their confidence, and their excitement for learning.

Your contributions have allowed our students to take their engineering skills to the next level by incorporating 3D printing into their projects. With access to 3D printing materials, our students are now designing and fabricating custom components for competitions like KidWind and Solar Sprint, gaining hands-on experience in renewable energy innovation.\r\n\r\nIn KidWind, students build and test wind turbines to maximize energy output. Thanks to 3D printing, they can design custom turbine blades, refining their shape and pitch for optimal performance. Additionally, they are engineering and printing gearboxes, allowing for precise gear ratios that improve energy transfer and efficiency. The ability to rapidly prototype and test different designs has given our students a deeper understanding of aerodynamics, mechanics, and energy conversion.\r\n\r\nFor Solar Sprint, where students construct solar-powered cars, 3D printing has enabled the team to create lightweight, high-performance wheels. Customizing wheel size, grip patterns, and weight distribution has helped optimize speed and efficiency, giving students valuable experience in mechanical design and problem-solving.\r\n\r\nThese opportunities have not only enhanced our students' technical skills but have also fueled their passion for engineering and innovation. Your support has empowered them to experiment, create, and compete at higher levels, building confidence in their abilities and preparing them for future STEM careers. On behalf of our students, thank you for making this possible—we can't wait to see where their creativity takes them next!","fullyFundedDate":1734711742432,"projectUrl":"project/nc-tsa-printing-the-future-of-stem/8958763/","projectTitle":"NC TSA: Printing the Future of STEM","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kline","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4083433_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x604,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1586914490482","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4083433"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89184","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":265,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":96,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":69.6,"schoolId":89184,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northern Cambria High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northern Cambria High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/northern-cambria-school-district/northern-cambria-high-school/89184"}
