My Students

The students are very curious. They have many varying interests and skillsets. These combinations allow for the study and exploration of a great range of topics. We are building our growth mindsets to enable us to try and sometimes fail while learning. Perseverance is a great asset in learning and life. People learn best from doing the learning objectives, so we have created an atmosphere that fosters hands-on, student-directed learning.

We spend several hours a week working on Personal Learning Projects that allow the students to explore and learn about things they are interested in.

The self-directed learning creates engagement and reinforces the curriculum.

My Project

The materials we are seeking for this project will give the students endless possibilities for engaged self-directed learning. We will all seek to achieve a basic understanding of 3D printing we can use to print parts for music instruments, science projects, social studies diagrams, and more. We will print the pieces to create a greener city with less runoff. We will print nose cones and wings for model rockets that the students will design. The learning and assessment can take exciting, more engaged, and greater depth with a 3D printer.
