My Project
My goal is to create a well-organized, clutter-free space where all classroom supplies are easily accessible for students. By organizing materials efficiently, I aim to help students understand the importance of neatness and responsibility in their own workspaces. Additionally, I plan to integrate a 3D printer into our learning environment, allowing students to explore innovative ways of printing with multiple colors. This hands-on experience will inspire their creativity, enabling them to bring their ideas to life in new and exciting ways. I believe this will help with our class motivation.
