My Students
My students come from a wide range of interests and backgrounds. They are very hard workers and will put their minds to anything put in front of them.
Their creativity is astounding and they can produce amazing things if materials are available to them.
My students have created a mousetrap vehicle, an airplane, a Rube Goldburg machine and a thermodynamic device using only materials that were being discarded.
The majority of my students qualify for the government assisted free lunch program.
My Project
Imagine walking into a Biology classroom where the teacher tells you to create an animal. You look around and you have all the art supplies you could think of.
You see a 3D printer and your imagination goes wild.
You can use the dry-erase boards to brainstorm with your group. The colored dry-erase markers allow you to add details. From there you can build a model using the markers, colored pencils, and glue. You will then be able to use a CAD program to make a 3D rendering. The final step will be to load your design into the slicing program so you can print it out. Once you have it designed you can scale it up or down to see environmental impacts on your newly created animal.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
