With two classroom 3D printers and a desktop CNC, students are taking their CAD ideas from screen to hand in a single class period. They're learning how tolerances, infill, toolpaths, and workholding change an outcome—and they're discovering that iteration isn't failure; it's engineering.\r\n\r\nOne students redesigned a part for our class, printed three versions, and proudly explained why the \"final\" had a chamfer instead of a fillet. Another group machined a simple jig on the CNC and could finally measure repeatability instead of guessing. Confidence is up, and so is the quality of their thinking: students are testing, measuring, and improving with purpose.\r\n\r\nIn Cybersecurity, the clear practice locks and supervised, non-destructive entry tools turned \"mystery\" into mechanics and ethics.\r\n\r\nYour gift didn't just buy equipment; it created access. Students who might never have touched a 3D printer, a CNC, or a physical security kit now have those experiences in class. Thank you for investing in their curiosity, skills, and futures.","fullyFundedDate":1757893617247,"projectUrl":"project/from-cad-to-reality-3d-printing-cnc-a/9624279/","projectTitle":"From CAD to Reality: 3D Printing, CNC, and Hands-On Cybersecurity","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pedersen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8308565_orig.jpg?crop=2537,2537,x0,y405&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1643903969569","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8308565"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73629","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":458,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":73.7,"schoolId":73629,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Academy for Math Engineering & Science on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Academy for Math Engineering & Science","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/utah-department-of-education/academy-for-math-english-science/73629"}
