Design It! Print It!

My students need the opportunity that 3D printing technology provides because it single-handedly represents an outstanding teaching opportunity with links to many math and science fields including: computer programming, manufacturing, robotics, process control and more.

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 Students

My students are underserved youth in Albuquerque’s Southeast Heights and International District. Many of them have experienced things that could derail an average student. My students have made the choice to continue their education in spite of obstacles they have faced and continue to face. They are creative, risk taking, determined, proactive, and resilient. They think and learn in outside-the-box ways and use problem-solving and innovation to address real-world problems. They are the future and they will be prepared for it.

My Project

The 3D printing technology single-handedly represents an outstanding teaching opportunity, with clear links to many important math and science fields, including: computer programming and design (development of 3D computer images), manufacturing (production of real-life engineering models and prototypes), thermodynamics (temperature, phase change—solid to liquid), robotics (position and velocity control of programmable extruder (printing nozzle)), mathematics (basic 3D shapes, assembly of shapes, volume, total mass…), electronics (circuits), process control (integration of software and hardware to produce a prototype right in front of the students). Many of these students come from minority, disadvantaged households. The 3D printer will provide a unique opportunity to infuse a desire in our students to seek careers in science and technology. Students simply cannot satisfy their desire to learn more about this enchanting technology, with near-instantaneous gratification as prototypes are 3D printed right before their astonished eyes. It is truly a mesmerizing experience, with students focused on learning leading-edge technologies while having lots of excitement!
