Project Cost: $1000
Funded to Date: Be the first to support!
Online Until: March 8, 2015
Teacher Name: Amanda Jimenez
School: Cherokee Middle School
Grade Level: 6th, 7th, 8th- Design and Modeling Engineers
Description: Our
Design and Modeling classroom learns the specifics of 2-dimensional and
3-dimensional designs. Students use their learned knowledge to take
2-dimensional designs and create them in 3D using computer software. This class
would like to take the next step in the design process by taking the 3D
computer-generated design and constructing a 3D physical model utilizing the 3D
pen. The 3D Pen is an engaging educational tool that allows the user to create
real 3-dimensional objects; a pen that puts the power of a 3D printer in the
palm of each student.
Please
don’t hesitate to contact us at any time.
Have
a great week and as always #GoIndians
