awarded for the purchase of a 3D printer for joint use by Brunswick High School’s Social Studies and Techni-cal Education departments.

Examples of student creations include the 2nd Temple at Jerusalem fromartists’ renditions, and the Blue Mosque and a spiraling minaret from the Grand Mosque in Iraq. In the Tech-nical Education Department, students in Cindy Cygan’s 3D modeling class will be printing the exteriors ofthe Formula 1 model racing cars they designed.
