News Release

WARSAW – Jefferson Elementary recently announced a partnership with Atomic Filament, a Kendallville-based manufacturer that produces 3-D printer filament made entirely in the United States. Through the collaboration, founder Mike Migranyan, a Jefferson parent, provided Jefferson with filament at cost, allowing the school to access premium materials while stretching STEM resources even further.

Atomic Filament is known for its vibrant colors and consistent print quality, which will directly enhance hands-on engineering, design and prototyping experiences in classrooms.

“If you can think it, you can make it,” Migranyan said. “I want students at Jefferson to have the tools they need to explore, imagine and create.”

Principal Joshua Wall expressed appreciation for the partnership and the impact it will have on student learning.

“We’re incredibly grateful for Mike’s support and the high-quality materials Atomic Filament provides,” Wall said. “Opportunities like this elevate our STEM programming and help students turn their ideas into real, tangible creations.”

The partnership supports Jefferson’s ongoing work to expand its science, technology, engineering and math opportunities as part of its Indiana Department of Education STEM school recertification efforts.
