My Students
You can feel the energy every time they enter my room, excited to explore, experiment, build, and create. My students come from a diverse range of cultural, and economic backgrounds. Each of them contributes in a different way to the learning experience. They love to build! Team engineering projects are abuzz with excitement as students think critically to solve the problem in front of them.
My students are my inspiration and it gives me great pleasure to experience their joy of discovery.
Within our classwork students have the opportunity to record video and take photos to share with me and their parents. I am always looking for ways to expand students' horizons and enhance their ability to succeed.
My Project
While working on class projects students are able to videotape and photograph their work. Students have recorded videos of electric motors, narrated circuit designs, and documented chemical reactions. Many times students must manipulate materials while they are trying to record with the tablets. This can become very challenging when you need a free hand. Having stands would allow students to have at least one partner with free hands while they were recording or photographing their work.
If humans had three arms then a mechanical one wouldn't be necessary.
Since that isn't really an option these mechanical ones would help us out greatly.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
