AWFAE 3D Pen Grant

This past Friday I presented this slideshow at the Ashburnham-Westminster Foundation for Academic Excellence dinner. Last year and the year before I write a grant to the Foundation for the 3D Start. The following slideshow explains what the 3D Start is and does, as well as shows what fourth-graders have been working on in art class.
