My Students

My new school has enthusiastic, creative learners with diverse needs. There are many gifted students as well as a variety of special needs students. Our school is currently becoming a K-8 school, moving away from a traditional elementary school. My students need opportunities to bridge science, math, and technology to help them become competitive in the real world. I would like to purchase devices so students can enhance problem-solving through robotics and coding applications. I want to make lessons more engaging through technology.

My Project

I am trying to create a space where students can be creative and experience 3D printing. Students will be able to create objects that they design or replicate from plastic filament. These creations may be models, inventions or just for fun.

This is something that is very important to experience as many jobs are starting to use 3D printing.

Jobs such as computer aided design, architecture, and lawyers are using 3D printing. Part of our job as educators is to ensure that our students are prepared for their future. Inspiring, providing information and giving opportunities to learn new skills and interests is crucial.
