Iterative Engineering and Modeling

Help me give my students to participate in the iterative process of engineering. The FlashForge 3D printer will allow my class to design and test engineering solutions and model complex structures in tangible ways.

My Students

My students have big ideas and want to explore science in ways that stretch classroom norms. Trying to learn online (or somewhere in between) for the past year and a half have helped them to see that there are more ways to learn than the traditional lecture structure and they are ready to get their hands on science in new ways.

These kids know that school has been different and that has set them back.

But they also know that there are better ways to move forward and past this obstacle.

My Project

The first and most important impact that the 3D printing project will have is the ability to capture attention and drive engagement. Being able to print a model they designed and test it will bring real-world engineering into the hands of students. We will use the printer to create class projects that test principles of force, tensile strength, resonance, damage mitigation, and energy production in ways that discussion, theory, and virtual models never could.

We will also use the printer to create detailed models of molecules, cell structures, and anatomy to better explore things that are impossible to see and difficult to understand.

This will help students engage after years of feeling separated from the hands on, exciting side of science.
