Although our school is located in the center of the Silicon Valley, about 50% of our students are socio-economically disadvantaged, about 25% are English language learners, and about 50% qualify for free and reduced-price lunches. Less than 50% of the parents have had some college or graduated from college. My students are full of energy, creativity, passion, perseverance, and diversity. Working with middle school students keeps me up with the latest clothing, music, and video game trends. I am forced to be a lifelong learner when trying to incorporate their interests into my classroom.
My Project
The school district hosts a STEAM expo every spring where students and teachers across the district come to share, learn, and participate in fun STEAM based activities.
The STEM Leadership Institute based out of the school would like to share with the community interactive projects where participants can create cool projects from laser cutters and cutting machines on site to create personalized items.
By seeing how easy it is to produce high quality items on fabric, wood, and paper, students can be encouraged to use the tools found in their Makerspaces.
