My students are a wonderful bunch of gifted students learning to fully explore, investigate, and become the problem solvers and innovators of the future. These kids have been through many hardships while at home, so my goal is to help them disconnect from problems, use their imagination through STEAM projects, research, robotics and dream to reach higher! I want to lure my students into wanting to learn more each day, and not feel like work.
My kids are challenging themselves to do better and be the best they can be, no matter the circumstances.
I want my gifted and enrichment classroom to be one of the places where they can relax and learn.
My Project
A 3D Printer would be a very cool addition to our gifted & talented learning environment! My student are very creative and have inquisitive minds. Being able to transform some of their creations into physical form would be mind blowing!
Gifted & Talented students rarely find challenging and engaging things to do in the general setting classroom, so my goal is to give them an opportunity to be faced with something new, innovative and exciting.
Please help me bring our learning into the 21st century and expose them to more STEM options!
More than half of students from low‑income households
