A 3D printer attaches to a com-
puter with a USB plug.
Schools are already using 3D
printers across the country to explore (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Math) STEM con-
cepts. Companies have 3D print-ers ranging from $400 to in the
tens of thousands. Ms. White believes that “Home use 3D
printers are in its beginning
stage, but I predict they will be ubiquitous, like computers, in
about five years.” Already busi-
nesses are opening stores and having events to popularize the
use of 3D printers.
Students at BETA, CTI and SPC
can use the 3D printer to make food, auto parts, and models of
concepts limited only by their
creative imagination
We raised $560 towards obtaining
a MakerBot Academy 3D Printing
Bundle!! We need $1,892 more to
reach our goal. This 3D printer is ready for the classroom and fully
equipped. Students (and Staff) are excited about creating models using
3D technology. The 3D printer will
benefit ALL of Dutchess BOCES!
Dutchess BOCES would be one of
the first schools in the area with a 3D printer! Students will benefit
through experiences with using the 3D printer tool. Creativity can
manifest in every curriculum area!
Although the Anime Club is sponsor-
ing the funding for the 3D printer, it can be used in many classrooms
and buildings! For example, a 3D
printer can make models of simple cell structures in Biology class, or it
can be used to illustrate mathe-matical concepts, and to create
tangible concepts!
Anyone can make a donation of money
through the Donor’s Choose website. It is
a charitable organization that helps
classrooms obtain funding for projects.
See the following web site for more infor-
mation and PLEASE donate to our crowd-
funding Donors Choose Project!
Go to: www.donorschoose.org
Search Project : Anime Business.
Your name will be shown but your donation amount will not appear on the
web site.
On our way to 3D Printing! B y M s . W h i t e

A world without you is like a world without sun
Days are dark while everything thought truthful is
undone
I have survived but haven’t felt like I’ve lived
I have sought many answers but got almost none
My heart beats with yours as if we are one
You are my guidance and you are my heart
Oh how I love you Dearly,
Love you Always
