WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita middle school students will soon have access to 3-D printers.

KWCH-TV reports Wichita Public Schools officials on Monday night approved the purchase of printers for the district’s 18 middle schools.

The printers will be used in the district’s career and technical education programs to help students learn about measurements. Teachers say the printers will help get students excited about studying technology.

The Cargill Company gave the district a $60,000 grant to cover the cost of the printers.
