My Students

We have Asian, Hispanic, African American, and Caucasian students, which makes us very diverse. Some of our students have language barriers that they are trying to overcome, while still learning educational material. They are very caring and motivated learners. They have great attendance even while virtually learning.

My Project

My students are longing for some hands on experiences in technology. Little students learn better through hands on experiences. Their minds have some great ideas ready to come out. These building experiences will enhance their building knowledge, working in a team, and give them math and science experiences.

Help my students experience engineering experiences while helping their classmates learn as well.

We will be building buildings, bridges, and other structures. Covid has kept us away from experiencing hands on learning, so it will be great to get together and have more of them.
