My students were mesmerized by the 3D printer! They got to see it at work, and they were captivated & very excited! The Lincoln Memorial representation looks just like the real thing! 🙂 The pink sea shell was to test out the printer, but we will be doing more prints in the future!
Overall, the kids were VERY excited to see the printer at work! Thank you again!
