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

Our students come to school eager to learn and create opportunities for themselves. Through our unique, dual language instructional platform, our learners derive tremendous pride in learning through their native language.

Located in eastern North Philadelphia, we are a vibrant community of K-8 learners, home to Philadelphia's largest concentration of Latinos.

Instruction at PACS is paired with many supports for low-income, non-English speaking families, which range from case management services, onsite health and wellness services, and summer enrichment and extended year programs. Combined, these initiatives set our students on a path to academic achievement.

My Project

Last year, at my previous school, I adopted 3D printing across the curriculum for the first time, and my students absolutely loved it. It was so popular, in fact, that I immediately started an after-school 3D printing club! As the new Technology Integrator at my new school, I'd love to bring these same opportunities here.

In my 13 years of education, I have never seen anything more naturally engaging and educational, spanning the curriculum, than 3D printing!

Giving kids the opportunity to literally transfer almost any concept into creation is invaluable and speaks to effective 21st century education. Please help our students experience the benefits of 3D printing!
