Fourth-grade students at Missouri Valley Elementary put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test using 3D printer pens to build butterflies! 🦋
Students designed and printed each body part on paper, then used the pens to weld the pieces into full 3D creations. They were challenged to make the butterflies stand on their legs without any help.
What an awesome blend of art, science, and engineering! 🛠️

Third grade TAG students are bringing creativity and problem solving to life with 3D printer pens! 💡
Students recently designed and built fall leaves with insects attached, combining art, design, and hands-on learning. In future lessons, they’ll use the pens to create models that help solve real-world problems!

Fifth grade students are taking STEM learning to the next level with 3D printer pens! 💡🖊️
As part of their latest project, students designed and printed the individual components of windmills, then “welded” them together to build a 3D model that could stand on its own. In future lessons, they’ll continue using the pens to create models as part of real-world problem solving.
Thanks to Mrs. Stessman, who secured a classroom set of 24 3D printer pens through the STEM Scale-Up Program!

Students had the opportunity to learn from Danielle Bryant, APRN in cardiology, as she visited the classroom to share her journey as both an ICU nurse and a nurse practitioner.
She guided students through hands-on activities, including how to listen to heart and lung sounds, take a blood pressure reading, and the basics of CPR. What an inspiring and educational experience! 🩺❤️
