Bringing An Idea To Life

Verified Non-Profit
$75
$7,000 goal

The Description
With these funds I will...be able to crate a work like environment in my classroom. The 2 Makerbot Replicators and supplies will allow my students to create, design and bring to life a product of their own concept. This lab would be a great opportunity for my students to incoparte the design process, design matrix, and auto-desk skill that they will acquire in class. Being apart of this process will allow my students to take ownership of their ideas. Being a Title 1 school creates many issues that don't allow my students to experience all the products that can make learning fun for them. You can really make an impact with my students by investing in our cause. The 2 Makerbot Replicators are $2,899 each (a total of $4,798.). The 10 rolls of filament at are $48 each (a total of $480). The 2 smart extruders are $175 each (a total of $350). In addition, we also would like to purchase a one-year Makerbot MakeCare protection Plan. The items can be viewed at http://www.makerbot.com.


The reason that I feel that my students deserve the opportunity to use the resources is that I want my students who come from the low and middle income population, to have the best available experience possible. Your kindness will go a long way to allow this to happen. Thank you!
Back Up Plan
If I do not meet my goal I will purchase...as many items that are on my list as possible. If the funds are enough for any of the items on my wish list. Then I will buy the following items: calipers, a wooden block, motor controllers, shaft collars, pipetting devices, a gel chamber, a tuning fork kit, rectangular ceramic magnets, graphing paper, and other items that I may need to help my other classes. I teach 2 classes of 6th graders, 2 classes of 7th graders and 2 classes of 8th graders. I wish that I could give more detail on how the money would be spent if I don't reach my goal, but I will know more once I know how much I have to spend and on how much consumables are left at the end of the year.
