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 Students

My school is a Title I school with a huge population of students who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. My students live in a neighborhood considered to be a low-income community, but this has not affected their eagerness and enthusiasm to learn.

My students are all high achievers and are always ready for a new challenge.

A determination and love for learning are seen in each one of my students. My students will be blown away at the unlimited and exciting ways they can engage, learn, and grow.

My Project

3D printing technology positions students as creators. Instead of buying or consuming the creations of someone else they become inventors who can identify needs and create solutions.

3D printing is a technology that scientists and engineers are using to change the world, lets put that same technology into the hands of our students and introduce them to some of the challenges facing your community.

They will learn empathy, teamwork, and problem solving as you set them loose on a real-world problem. Don’t be surprised if they come up with solutions you hadn’t even imagined. 3D printing is amazing. 3D printer would help the struggling students be successful and claim ownership of their learning. Having a 3D printer will also help my more advanced students working on more complicated tasks in class.
