My Project

By using a 3D printer, middle school students can explore creativity in dynamic and hands-on ways that foster problem-solving, innovation, and design thinking. Most students in my school live in poverty and their only opportunity to access, see, and experiment with a 3D printer would be at school. As they model and create their own 3D objects, students learn to translate abstract ideas into tangible products, which encourages critical thinking and spatial awareness. The process of iterating designs, troubleshooting issues, and refining their creations cultivates persistence and attention to detail. Additionally, the ability to experiment with different materials and textures broadens their understanding of how art and technology can converge, ultimately inspiring them to think outside the box and express their ideas in new and imaginative ways.

Using microphones in middle school video projects enhances creativity by allowing students to experiment with sound in new ways.

By incorporating clear and intentional audio into their projects, students can add depth to their storytelling, experiment with voiceovers, and create engaging sound effects. This encourages them to think creatively not only about visuals but also about how sound can shape mood, convey emotion, and enhance their message. Through this process, students develop a deeper understanding of multimedia production and learn to communicate their ideas in more dynamic, imaginative ways.
