International Space Station model for Classes

Small town and big dreams and ART. This small fundraiser is pretty simple, I have been going into Classrooms for over 3 years now helping the teachers and students be creative and explore the sciences too.  Many projects have included LARGE 3D models of Space shuttle and the Empire State Building, with an artistic and abstract twist. I also use other models, skeleton TREX and Science based info to produce art pieces that the kids create to understand not only the science, but also the freedom to express the subject matter in abstract and fun ways. Sometimes its drawings based on a Mars Rover, or an iPad sketch of the Solar System.  And always with an emphasis of fun while learning.  Most of my classes are Elementary level (3rd or 4th Grades) and always ties into the teachers own curriculum .

This GoFundme ask for is a large model of the International Space Station That I'd like to use as a 3D prop for drawing perspective studies and discussion of the science that went into the real space station.  Having an actual model that kids can explore from all angles and understand the form and function.  In addition this also helps the teachers I partner with have a greater connection with the kids without the extra burden on what they can provide  - something special that enriches their class but not coming out of their budgets.

Simply put, I'd love a little help to make some special class time memories and have some creative fun for our local kiddos.

Thank you for the consideration and even if you can't help maybe share this to someone who might be interested. Thanks from Mr. Mike, Arts in Education for El Dorado and vicinity .  Feel free to contact me if you have questions.
