"The library has been a great place to house the 3D printer, because it allows for access to all students. Many students are new to 3D printing, so they use Tinkercad. Some students are more advanced so our I.T. Department granted access to Solidworks." -Ms. Rugg, Frenchtown, MT

Mr. Miller's students in Newport, VT, have made everything from windmill blades & water rocket launchers to evolution skulls & student-designed trophies with their 3D printer. Even a snowblower shutoff key for maintenance! 🧠

🚀 The MarsFarm Smart Greenhouse is up and running in Mukwonago, WI! Ms. Perkins's students participated in the Tomatosphere Project, growing two sets of tomato seeds—one set spent time on the ISS, one did not… but no one knew which was which!

🚀 At Los Lunas Library’s summer Sphero program, students coded robots to conquer bridges, tunnels & obstacles—building problem-solving, teamwork, & STEM skills along the way. They programmed for speed, accuracy, & timing, then shared strategies to improve their code & designs.

🚀 Big things happening in the MakerSpace at Lexington Public Library (AL)! 380 kids got hands-on with the 3D printer & Sphero Bolt, and thanks to a community donation, students are now creating with a Cricut too. Huge shout-out to Ms. Glover for sparking so much creativity!

Imagine being a kid, coding your first game, and then holding it in your hands to actually play. 💻🎮 That’s what students in Macclenny, FL experienced—and the joy was off the charts. Read about it here: ruraltechfund.org/code-in-hand/
