Hailey Elementary School is expanding their art program to include a 3D printing system available to young students. By introducing modern art creation with the addition of 3D design to the art department, students of Hailey Elementary will have the opportunity to learn about and operate a 3D printing machine, as well as creating designs to put through the 3D printing software. Collaboration with the Robotics Team at College Park, will allow these young artists will have proper guidance on the use of 3D printing technology, but also gain mentorship from older students.
The Dr. David Gottlieb Education Microgrant will provide the funding to purchase the 3D printing machine necessary for this creative endeavor, as well as the iPads that will connect with the 3D printer so the students can use it. Providing these resources will foster creativity, inspiration, innovation, and a hands-on learning experience in the art department of Hailey Elementary.
