My Students

We have Asian, Hispanic, African American, and Caucasian students, which makes us very diverse. Some of our students have language barriers that they are trying to overcome, while still learning educational material. They are very caring and motivated learners. They have great attendance even while virtually learning.

My Project

I want to teach my kids about building in 3D. They will be constructing buildings and bridges, just to name a few things. They can use this knowledge in many careers such as construction, modeling, and demonstrating a model in various ways to understand better what is needed to create that construction.

We need additional materials since Covid has put restrictions on working in a safer, more cautious environment.

This project will supplement the supplies we already have so that each student will be using their own materials. The students can work in individual or 2 person teams to construct structures based on their plans before construction starts.
