Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 125

For this project, I spent a few class periods introducing students to the printer, and to how 3D printing works. I had printed out various tests throughout the year, so I was able to show the students through these examples what to expect when we 3D print something. Then, students were introduced to the design program, but due to Covid-19, we were not able to print their designs. Only a few students were able to get a good design in the program, since it is a very steep learning curve and we did not really have enough time to work on designing projects. We were able to design some simple, useful items which i have attached images of below. We were able to print these as well. I still have the filament and I know we will be able to continue this project next year with my next group of Chemistry Students.

Original Grant Overview

Goal(s)

Students will be able to design and 3D print representations of different molecules in Chemistry using the Dremel 3d45 printer in my classroom.

Project Description

After having learned molecular structure, students will be assigned a molecule, open a tinkercad account, and design the molecule to be printed in the 3D printer.

Expected Outcomes

Visual representation of molecules, better understanding of molecular structure, experience and practice designing in CAD, practice with making, sending, and following up on design for 3D printer.

Purpose of Funding

This filament would be my only cost in having all students have the chance to design and print a molecule on a 3D printer. This technology is the future and I would love to give my Title 1 students a chance to experiment with and use this cutting edge technology.
