3D Printing for our Classroom

DonorChoose

The link above leads to our Technology class donors choose page about purchasing a 3D printer for our room.  We are trying this site out for the first time and are really looking forward to accomplishing our goal in order to purchase this piece of technology for our school.  This would add to the technology we already have here, as well as, push us into the next stage of developing technologies out there for educational use.  Please give it a look and decide if you are able to help in anyway with getting us to the next level in educational technologies.

Video I show students about the possibilities of 3D printing.
