My Students

Students at my school are a caring, creative, and unique bunch. They are full of personality and are not afraid to let their passions shine, no matter how obscure. Indeed, one of our more popular clubs is String Band. The sounds of traditional folk music can be heard throughout the halls, and members of the school's folk dancing club can be seen busting a move to the tunes.

Our school places heavy emphasis on 5 core values or the 5 Rs: responsibility, respect, reach, relationship, and resilience.

Our students strive each and every day to embody those values and often exceed expectations. The resiliency they have all shown lately in light of the challenges presented to them throughout the pandemic has been especially inspiring to see.

My Project

As 3D printing continues to revolutionize various fields I want to provide my students with the chance to learn first-hand how this technology works. So many future careers will be shaped by 3D printing technology and we have only just started to scratch the surface on how to effectively utilize it. Giving students the opportunity to work with and design products for printing can help set them on the path for success in the 21st-century workforce.

3D printing allows students to engage in all areas of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) and see how these seemingly disparate fields can intersect.
