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 Project

3D printers are amazing tools for students in that they teach an array of skills to students. These skills can help launch a student's passion for technology, software, computer programming, robotics, manufacturing, chemistry, architecture, business, engineering, and/or design.

In addition, 3D printers are fantastic for enhancing student engagement and motivation.

3D printing provides a hands-on, interactive experience that can spark students' interest in learning and problem-solving. It can also make abstract concepts tangible and easier to understand. With a 3D printer, students can design and create their own unique objects, giving them a chance to exercise their creativity and innovation. This, in turn, helps students develop critical thinking skills, research skills, and provides experience in a specific technical STEM area.

For this project, I'd like to request a 3D printer. This is the first of 5 related projects.

I will initially be giving those who have some experience an opportunity to teach, and from there, all students will be able to use the 3D printer as a method of demonstrating their learning.

For example, one of the TEKS for my class is to have my students enhance productivity with technology; another is to analyze the economic bases of business and industry. I'd like to try a lesson in which students work on a group project to create their own invention to market and simulate mass production of their creation. This personalized learning, wherein they customize solutions to real-world problems, can help them develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter and apply their knowledge in practical ways.

Because this type of project is a rapidly growing technology that is becoming more prevalent in various industries, by introducing students to 3D printing at an early age, they can gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
