| Middle School students
wanted to thank the trustees of the Collinsville Education Foundation
for the $3035 grant that helped purchase the 3-D printer that they are
already producing items with (see samples below). Not all of the students
were available for this photo due to anassembly
at the high school and then the bell for the next period at the middle
school. They are students in Paige Margwarth's grade STEM classes. The
"Science Technology Engineering and Math" program is only available
for about twenty 8th graders per class now, but it is hoped the STEM program
can be expanded for more students later. |

| The students have
only had the new printer for a short time but are already producing 3-D
objects that are formed "a bit like a hot glue gun" from spools
of plastic material into a maximum space of 150 mm cubed. The students
learn how to convert their ideas into a solid by utilizing the associated
computer program and the printer that melts the material (to about 230
degrees) and slowly places the material where programmed as the print
heads move across the print area in an x-y grid and then builds in the
y direction as depth is added. The sample above were created as awards
for the dodge ball tournament and as a thank you plaque for the CEF. |

| These CEF trustees
visited Mrs. Margwarth's classroom Wednesday Nov. 18th to see the 3-D
printer in action and to receive the "Thank You" plaque made
by the grateful students with their new printer. L-R: Carolyn Brinkley,
Rhonda Paul, Sheryl Witten, Ron Evans, Mrs. Margwarth, and Bill Thomas.

on Facebook a few days after the CEF visit to the Middle school with the
winners of the Middle School Dodge Ball Tournament sporting awards around
their necks produced by their classmates on the 3-D printer.-- Ted |
