Impact Story: 3D Printers

3D printing is a highlight of the 5th grade STEM classes, and students learn how to design in 3-dimensions using TinkerCAD.
To wrap up the unit, each student analyzes boats and creates an original boat using the computer assisted design software that we 3D print and test on open waters at Lake Davidson. Thanks to the Enrichment Fund, the Middle School STEM lab includes two new printers that will help with productivity! The MakerBot Sketches have new software that will allow the students to analyze a print prior to submitting a project. They are a great addition to our lab as our 5th graders take to the high seas (of Lake Davidson)!
