My Project
My students will use the Ender 3D printer to bring their innovative ideas to life, designing and engineering real-world solutions to problems. They will create 3D models with a fit or function that addresses a need, print their designs, and then test, gather data, and refine their solutions.
This hands-on experience will deepen their understanding of the engineering design process while fostering creativity, problem-solving, and empathy.
My goal is to inspire students to think critically and design with a human-centered approach. My students are special because they are driven to make a real impact through innovation and technology.
