Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am getting all my students from Kinder through 8th grade excited about 3D printing and how 3D printing has an impact on their future, Using the Engineering design process allows the students to make iteration and changes to their designs and having multiple colors helps the students learn about adaptation when they don't have the colors, or the materials needed to complete their projects. With being a Title 1 school we don't have the additional funding to purchase a wide variety of color choices. Having amazing donors that support classrooms has made teaching so rewarding.
