Investor

Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.

Anonymous Family Foundation - $949.00

Goal

The goal of this grant request is to purchase a new 3D printer to be used in the classroom. Students will have the opportunity to design and rapid prototype using the 3D printer throughout the year for various projects. For example, students will be working on parts for some robots and they will be designing a product for a "Shark Tank" style project.

What will be done with my students

Students will work towards the following standards in the Advanced Technology Applications course:
03.0 Demonstrate the ability to identify and solve problems.
15.02 Demonstrate the ability to use related technological tools, materials and processes related to the specific program area.
12.09 Apply appropriate units and instruments for measurement to achieve the degree of precision and accuracy required in real-world situations.
12.10 Describe, draw, Identify, and analyzes two-and three-dimensional shapes.

By completing these standards, students will also be learning about equipment maintenance and rapid prototyping in a manufacturing setting. This will help students develop appropriate workforce skills. In addition, students will be learning industry used software to be able to complete these standards.

Benefits to my students

This will help students develop appropriate workforce skills. In addition, students will be learning industry used software to be able to complete these standards. 3D printers are commonly used in the STEM field in post-secondary and career level environments. Students will get to become familiar with this resource.

Budget Narrative

The money from this grant will be used to purchase the 3D printer listed. Should this 3D printer go out of stock, we have a backup printer that is similar in cost and feature that can be purchased instead.
