Nurturing Creativity With Today's Technology!

Help me give my students the outlet to create and see the possibilities of a technological future!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In order to create anything, you need three things; an idea, a way to create that idea, and money to fund the process! Nurturing young minds in this day and age, requires the wiz bang flash and flare that even Harry Houdini would be proud of!

A 3D Printer would allow my students and I the outlet to create and explore beyond paper and pencil.

To see those concepts come to life, through trial and error, as we begin our technological journey into the 21st century! As a society, we've moved beyond the tinker toys of yesteryears. Students today want the here and now that we could have only dreamed about 40 or 50 years ago.

I Hope, We Hope, that you too can imagine the learning possibilities that these tools can provide. Help me open the door to imagination!
