This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I have a classroom of diverse students with many creative ideas. Many are athletes and are great troubleshooters and critical thinkers. However, with limited materials, their skills and their athletic abilities are stuck on paper and in some cases in their heads. Many of my students do not have the resources necessary to perfect their craft.
Even though resources are low, all are eager to learn everything they can while having fun!
Children are our future! Helping them to "think outside the box" give them that extra push toward brighter futures and a more successful tomorrow!
My Project
Technology is revolutionizing how students learn. My students gain valuable knowledge and experiences through technology-rich lessons that incorporate computer coding, one-to-one computing, and most recently 3D printing. Having a 3D printer in the classroom has really transformed many of my students to to take their ideas from paper and make them more tangible.
Adding an additional 3D printer to the classroom will allow us to double our printing capacity and allow more students the opportunity to design and print more 3D objects.
Our students are eager to design, model, and print their own 3D creations. Help me continue to make their paper version come alive.
