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. Students being able draw in 3d in teams will help their creativity to blossom.

My students love hands on learning and 3D pens would allow my students to create drawings in 3D.

My students are very creative and love working in teams. Please help take my students to another level of learning.

My Project

My students do a shark tank unit in where they become the company, create a business plan, create a prototype of their invention and lastly present them to a shark tank of 6 to see if they can get an investment. They love this kind of active learning in teams and even being competitive as to who will get an investment.

Engineering and knowing about structure is very important for the career choice they make.

If they had 3D pens to make their prototypes that would take this lesson to another level for them. Seeing your invention in 3D is awesome!
