My Students

My students are some of the best students I have encountered in my 26 years of teaching. They are eager to learn and have a heart for each other.

Our students tackle big problems head on using STEM education and the design process.

3D printing along with other innovative tools in the school, give our students the means to create and innovate in their education. It is amazing to give a challenge and see where they take it to find a solution.

My Project

Last semester our Design & Modeling classes took on the challenge of creating an oxygen tank carrier for a little 2 year old girl born with a genetic disorder. The students amazed us all with 13 prototypes to help the child become more mobile around the house in her walker.

This semester we have been challenged to develop a beach capable walker for a child with cerebral palsy.

Our Desing and Modeling students will take on the challenge and design something new or modifications to existing equipment to make it capable of running on sand and in light surf.

Your contribution to this classroom 3D printer will allow students to print their prototype ideas right away as they design for this and future challenges. We are always looking for good challenges to connect our learning to real life needs that help others in our community and beyond!
