A
short summary of our project
In a world
where technology is constantly expanding and changing, we would like our students to
have every opportunity to experience these changes first hand.
We are crowd funding in order to purchase a 3D printer for our school. The ability to work with 3D shapes will give our students real world experiences. Students will see their ideas and designs come to life! 3D models will help in many subject areas not just technology - Art and Design, Mathematics and Science will all benefit from this type of technology.
Who are we?
Lord Williams’s
School is a thriving and popular comprehensive school serving the Thame
community and its surrounding rural area. We are a split-site school, with
Years 7 – 9 on the Lower School site at Towersey Road and Years 10 – 13 on the
Upper School site at Oxford Road. We pay particular attention to each
individual student by promoting their personal, social and educational
development to enable all to achieve at the highest level possible. As a
result of our continuing success, Lord Williams’s School is consistently
oversubscribed.
Our
story
We would like to
offer our students the opportunity to experience a piece of technology that
many children their age will probably never see in action. The possibilities
with 3D printing are limitless; from a small personal item, to a complete
interactive model, students would have the opportunity to take the ideas and
projects they have developed to another level.
Where
will the money go?
The minimum
amount will cover the entire cost of a WhitBox 3D printer. If the project
reaches its target goal, the extra funding will go towards buying more supplies
for the 3D printer. With increased funding, we will be able to purchase
more than one 3D printer so that student's will have more accessibility to the
equipment.
