My Students

I work with some of the brightest students, who crave experiences with technology. I also coach an after school club so that even more students can have access to these opportunities.

The students at our school are well-deserving, however we are in a somewhat remote location, and our students are not easily able to participate in off-campus activities for many reasons.

By providing various sessions on site, students can have access to the cutting edge experiences with technology that may otherwise not be feasible.

My Project

With the current STEM and STEAM push, my hope is to offer immersive technological experiences to students, including 3D printing, so that they have a distinct advantage in the future.

The goal is to be able to provide on-site experiences for students, both during the school day and after, that they may otherwise not be able to participate in.

Children love to create. Access to a 3D printer will allow them to integrate their creativity with a production device. With so many real-world applications for 3D printing, these experiences will help them become more aware of how they may have a greater impact in the world with something that they may create.
