Students showcase 3‑D printed toys; FFA leaders urge continued support for ag programs
Summary
A presenter showed a student video of second‑grade students collecting data, designing and pricing 3‑D printed toys; FFA representatives highlighted student achievements and asked the board to continue support for the ag program and FFA chapter.
Presenter (S4) played a video and described a classroom project in which second‑grade students surveyed peers, tallied preferences, researched filament costs and set prices for 3‑D printed toys. S4 said the work emphasized data collection, graphing, decision‑making, teamwork, budgeting and problem‑solving.
S4 described the project as “very much hands on” and said that the students’ work resembled third‑ to fifth‑grade material. In a follow‑up exchange, board members asked whether students could create custom files; S4 said the classroom has a 3‑D printer and pens and that students can either buy existing files or create their own.
S4 also reported on the FFA chapter’s accomplishments and awards: as stated by the presenter, the chapter has four students receiving a state degree this summer and two students receiving an "American degree" in the fall. The presenter thanked the board for its support and asked members to keep the FFA chapter and the agricultural department in mind when making future decisions about programs and resources.
The presentation was informational; no board action is recorded in the transcript.
