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 Project
What I love most about my students is their curiosity, creativity, and resilience. No matter their background or academic level, they bring unique perspectives to problem-solving and an eagerness to learn when given the right tools and opportunities. I’m constantly inspired by how they light up when lessons come to life—when abstract concepts, or story elements become something they can see, touch, and build.
3D printer will transform our classroom into a space where imagination meets innovation.
Whether we're exploring geometry through custom-printed manipulatives, designing prototypes in a STEM challenge, or printing models of historical landmarks or individuals, this tool will make learning hands-on, meaningful, and inclusive. It’s not just about teaching content—it's about building confidence, collaboration, and creativity that will carry them far beyond the classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
