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 a creative group of 5th graders that attend a Title I school that recently became a STEM Certified School. They have a tremendous amount of creativity and enjoy sharing their ideas with each other in the classroom as well as other students throughout the school. We have only been in school for eight days and already they have created numerous creative projects and become extremely comfortable with numerous Google apps.

My students focus on science, reading, and writing while they are with me and technology allows us to combine these content areas to grow our learning exponentially.

They are so focused on their learning and integration of technology that you can see them happy and smiling as they complete their assignments.

My Project

This 3D printer will help my students have a better understanding of atoms and molecules and how they relate. Right now we can talk about atoms and molecules, but obviously they are too small to see and touch. Students often have a difficult time grasping the concept of these very small, yet very important part of our lives.

Having a 3D printer will allow my students to see and hold in their hands the building blocks of matter that make up everyday objects.

Students will design and then print different atoms and molecules and then share them with the school so that other students can better understand and benefit from this equipment.
