My Students

My students are my family. They come from many different backgrounds, but they all have the same goal: to master third grade and to learn how to be engineers. The name of our class is "Engineering Kids". We plan to design balloon powered cars, build mini houses and learn 3D modeling this school year. We will integrate science and engineering with math and language. We will solve real-world problems through project-based learning.

My engineers already know that our class is something special.

I look forward to teaching them new ideas and showing them that even third-graders can be engineers. I love watching my students energize when they get to learn different design techniques. I know that they will remember the engineering aspect of my class the most. This class continues to impress me every single day!

My Project

We are in the process of building the best makerspace that we can. We currently have 3D printers, but we often fight to get access to computers so that we can design our projects. We are in need of Chromebooks so that we can continue to learn about 3D design. We will also utilize the Chromebooks for our after school clubs. Our clubs reach 100 students that choose to stay after school to learn about 3D design. We plan on taking these clubs to the next level next year and integrating robotics into our 3D design program.

These clubs have been an amazing addition to our school.

These students have shown an increase in test scores over the past year, and we know that the access they students have had to learning engineering has been a big part to their success. One of our clubs is for girls only. This club has especially been amazing in increasing self-esteem in our female students. We believe that having increased digital access with Chromebooks will help us greatly throughout the year!
