🎉🏆 STEAM Grant Award Announcement 🏆🎉 We are excited to share that PCMS has been awarded a grant to purchase two Creality K2 Plus Combo 3D Printers for our STEAM Labs! These printers are a major upgrade, allowing students to print in multiple colors and expand their creativity through advanced design and fabrication. Along with this technology, students will participate in an innovative, cross-curricular STEAM unit that blends art, research, writing, and engineering. Students will research an abstract artist and one of their paintings, write about the artist’s life and the artwork, and then design a 3D model of the painting using Tinkercad. These models will explore perspective and visual illusion—similar to sculptures that only fully come together from one viewpoint. Once completed, student designs will be printed using the new 3D printers and showcased in a student gallery, celebrating creativity, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary learning. This award will provide powerful, hands-on learning experiences and open new doors for innovation at PCMS. We can’t wait to see what our students create! 🚀🎨🖨️
