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

This next year we will be expanding our tech class from. I will be in charge of helping students make 3D and 2D video games and also creating 3D modeling and prints. This 3D printer will really help bring their models to life. With it having multiple colors we will able to print our more detailed models. This goes from creating custom logos for our school, the football team, volleyball, really anything. The sky is the limit with this printer! I know my students are looking forward to it. They already have models designed that they want to try and print!
