Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I have been blessed to teach some amazing 10th-grade students who are motivated to learn, caring, honest, and self-controlled. They have developed a love of science and want to develop their skills and expand their interests. However, sometimes they have a hard time visualizing the concepts.

3D printing makes learning active, giving students hands-on experience and bringing their projects to life.

My goal is to provide students with new and exciting opportunities to visualize and experience science. Students will be able to apply academic concepts to 3D printing, helping them absorb the information better. This is exceptionally helpful for tactile learners.

Ms. Dean
Grades 9-12
