Hands-on learning is integral to my physics classroom. It engages students in the content, allows them to showcase their problem-solving skills in novel ways, and fosters organic, content-related discussion in the classroom. I have also found hands-on lessons to be more accessible to struggling students; many of my scholars with the lowest academic confidence absolutely shine when given the chance to showcase their intelligence using real-world objects. The addition of a 3D printer to my class would open many doors for physics exploration in a school where students often lack necessary science resources. From using printed parts to explore student-driven hypotheses about mechanics to learning how physics concepts govern how the machine works, this tool would empower all students to think more deeply about physics and how it affects the world around them.
