My Project

My students are curious about new technology. They are mesmerized by 3d printing and want to go beyond these limits. They are always bringing new ideas to challenge what they can create or make with materials found in our classroom.

Their imagination has gone beyond the materials we have in our classroom, They are ready for the next challenge of learning and using a laser cutter.

They know there will be limitations but are ready to problem-solve to see how far they can go with their ideas and designs.

My students are will not be held back by limited options - they will continue to challenge themselves with new ideas.
