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

Preserving our planet has become one of the main challenges facing our current society. But it is difficult and long to change mentalities. Yet there are still a number of initiatives that have been developed with the aim of protecting the Earth’s resources. Attention has turned to additive manufacturing as a solution.

This is because, by definition, 3D printing involves the addition of material to build a part, which results in a reduction of the amount of waste.

It is in this sense that it is more “green” than other manufacturing methods. 3D printing also allows for a focus on local production while promoting a more circular economy. Using this Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer to print components for our model city which we are working on using Chibitronics will help my students see the connection between technology and stewardship of planet Earth.
