Fellowship Christian School is pleased to announce it has received a $5,000 STEM grant from the Toshiba America Foundation (TAF). These funds will support the instruction of 3D printing using the Makers Empire software to be able to produce 3D models of the created STEM projects. Students will be able to use the 3D printing and design to deepen their STEM knowledge and understand how it can be used to impact their greater community. Key projects will include:

  • 5th grade students will create prosthetic legs, spacecraft, and space devices
  • 6th grade students will use their assigned projects in 6th grade to make 3D printed models
  • 7th and 8th grade students will use the 3D printers to participate in an authentic, community project that benefits the school and community

Toshiba America Foundation’s grants fund projects designed by individual classroom teachers. This “direct-to-teacher” approach brings immediate results. Teachers are able to change the way they teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects because the grant supports equipment for hands-on experiments and inquiry-based approaches to the curriculum. At TAF, we believe that STEM is a lot more fun than just reading a textbook. TAF grants provide teachers with the tools they need to be more effective educators. The grants make the classroom a more exciting place for both teachers and students.
