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 attend middle school in Norwalk, Connecticut, with over 75% of the school receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Norwalk is an urban area where many of my students live below the poverty level and cannot afford even the basic supplies. My students have a higher need for social-emotional tools to help aid them in coping with school stresses and to become successful in their classes. Our students are creative, innovative, and true consumers of knowledge. As a Gifted and Talented teacher, I work closely with social studies and science teachers and am able to infuse this curriculum with topics of diversity, justice, and action. My students are excited about learning and thrive when given the right tools to succeed.
My Project
“3D Printer Needed for Community Service Project,” and “If We Build Up Girls, Then We All Become STEMinists,” These projects gave the insight to put the right tools and materials in the hands of the students and to sprinkle in the inspiration of strong female role models. Students imagine and design items that can make a difference by using inspiring leaders as a guiding force. Ms. Boyd’s comments on community service and “embracing that we are better together,” rings true in the lessons and values I am trying to instill in my students. Ms. Trohez stated, “So I want to use what they love to build my girls’ confidence in doing science while helping them learn about successful and inspiring women in their STEM fields.”, emphasizes that providing proper tools and materials builds the confidence needed to follow-through on the class’ project ideas becoming solutions. Resources in the If/Then collection like 3-d printing videos like Mission Unstoppable prosthetic limbs and statues to inspiration the passion project creations. My project includes organization tools, craft supplies, sewing machine, snap circuits, and more to help students create realistic prototypes, inspirational displays, and more on their community service projects (like murals, clothing, gift bags for sick children, and more). Students should feel the courage that if they dream it, they can build it!
