My Students
My students are a mixture of 9th-12th graders. They are a diverse group but work well together. This school year has given me some of the best students I have had in years. Even though their grades may not reflect that, their sense of community does. They do not have any issues with helping a fellow student understand the lessons.
COVID-19 has thrust the world into chaos and because of that, adversity has been such a big part of my students’ teenage lives.
They must find ways to overcome the loss associated with that. With families and friends affected by COVID, many of these kids have been left with low motivation. However, the course work in my class gives them a break from the regular work they do in their core classes. There are hands-on projects with take-home products. My classes give students skills with a possible avenue to follow for a successful future.
My Project
My classes are hands-on projects. Students apply the skills they learn to create products such as 3D printouts or laser engraved products. These are great projects, and the students love doing them, but they take a lot of time. They must take turns using the 3D printer and the laser so between finishing a design and printing/lasering, there is a lot of time. To help students continue their creativity during this down time and for extra creative projects, I would like to provide the students with a class set of the MYNT3D Super 3D Pens. The PLA filament is the same type of filament used in the 3D printers. We do not use ABS filament, but it is a good option to have.
The MYNT3D is a 3D printing pen that users can create 3D printouts by drawing their project.
This would allow them to be more creative and have a quicker turn around. They can also use the pen to “weld” 3D printouts from the printer together. This would allow them to create a larger project, print in two or more parts, then connect them together to make one complete design. The ability to build and take home a project within a day will do a lot for the students. Being able to create a larger project and combine into one piece would do a lot for the students' creativity.
