Celebrating 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.
Interculturality is one of the goals of our school. That is why we receive students from different countries who belong to very different cultures every year. Most of the teenagers who take my class are students who have just arrived in the country from Central America (El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala ...). Students who are beginning to get in touch with the standards of our school district, with English, and with a new society.
On top of that, many have been exposed to an interrupted education, resulting in their learning abilities being affected and making it difficult for them to focus in science classes.
In short, too many factors that hinder their learning and that require additional support to allow them to be successful in their education.
My Project
My students are full of good intentions and a desire to learn, but sometimes a video or a simple text is not enough to help them understand the mysteries of life or the matter surrounding us. With the help of a 3D printer, a world full of possibilities opens up to us. We could create models to understand better the metabolisms of the cell, the importance of the structure of DNA, or the different parts of an atom. Without a doubt, you could help them learn by playing and not just explaining, telling them. If the technology exists, why not use it to sow the seeds of our students' dreams?
