Goal

Objective Statement: The primary Goal of integrating 3D printers into STEM education for grades K-5 is to foster a dynamic learning environment that engages students in hands-on, experiential learning, promoting creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills while exploring various STEM concepts.

What will be done with my students

Promote Creativity and Design Thinking:
Empower students to conceptualize, design, and iterate their own 3D models, fostering creativity and design thinking skills.
Encourage students to brainstorm solutions, test prototypes, and refine designs, mirroring real-world engineering and design processes.
Develop Critical Problem-Solving Skills:
Present students with open-ended challenges that require them to identify problems, formulate solutions, and adapt designs based on trial and error.

Benefits to my students

Enhance Spatial Reasoning and Geometry Understanding:
Introduce students to spatial thinking and geometry concepts through the manipulation and assembly of 3D objects.
Provide opportunities to understand geometric principles by visualizing and creating complex shapes and structures.
Integrate Multidisciplinary Learning:
Incorporate 3D printing across multiple subject areas, such as math, science, art, and even history, encouraging cross-disciplinary connections.
Collaborate with teachers to develop lesson plans that seamlessly integrate 3D printing into existing curriculum.
Encourage Technological Literacy:
Familiarize students with emerging technologies like 3D printing, preparing them for a technology-driven future.
Instill confidence in using tools and technologies while promoting responsible and safe usage.

Describe the Students

The students serviced are high and low performers. STEM education is an opportunity for all students and is not limited to a specific population.

Budget Narrative

The budget is to cover the cost of two 3-D printers with the Filament used for printing.
