Celebrating 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 students come from very diverse backgrounds. They all have varied life experiences. They enjoy working on computers and coding. Using 3D printing in my classroom will allow my students exposure to technology that scientists and engineers are using to change the world.
My students are very creative and hard workers.
They're very tenacious...they become fully immersed in work that requires creativity... especially in the production of artistic work.
My students are healthy, thoughtfull, energetic students that enjoy learning and never back down to life's challenges. I'm very lucky to work with this community of learners.
My Project
3D printing technology positions students as creators. Instead of buying or consuming the creations of someone else they become inventors who can identify needs and create solutions. 3D printing will help catapult them to the top. With 3D printing, my students will become designers and creators using cutting-edge technology to visualize and create their own imaginations. Not to mention the growth my students will have in their spatial reasoning skills and 2D to 3D conversion understanding, which has been found to be a predictor of future success.
3D printing is still a very new technology that is not readily available to your average student.
It has a ‘wow factor’ that will engage my students who would otherwise have nothing to do with their learning. Using 3D printing in my classroom will allow my students exposure to technology that scientists and engineers are using to change the world. And, when putting that same technology into the hands of my students and introducing them to some of the challenges facing our community. They will learn empathy, teamwork, and problem solving as I set them loose on a real-world problems. I won't be surprised if they come up with solutions I've never even imagined.
