My Students

My students encounter several challenges both in and outside of the classroom. The social constructs surrounding the living environments of our students can offer daily challenges. Despite these challenges, I encourage students to become lifelong sharers of their knowledge. They will create oral presentations using a document camera to explain how they created their 3D image. The laptop being portable will move with the 3D printer to assure printing is successful. Most students are from rural Native American Indian Reservations or Inner Cities where they have never used 3D development software or even a laptop.

My Project

Students will 3D print, after creating the project on the laptop. "3D printing is useful to architects for creating mockups and to mechanics for creating tools. ... 3D printing is an innovation which fuels more innovation. 3D printing is inexpensive prosthetics, creating spare parts, rapid prototyping, creating personalized items and manufacturing with minimum waste."

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their computer will print to the 3D printer.

In this technological world, any interaction with current technology, will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
