This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are excited about art! I teach K-5 art at a Title I school in North Carolina. My students are eager to create and learn. I cannot emphasize enough how important art is for my students during this pandemic. Art allows students to express themselves and cope with what they are going through. My class is providing them with a tangible way to process the world around them.
My students' excitement about art is contagious and pushes me to do my best despite the difficult circumstances of our school year!
My Project
As the world is continually advancing and technology ever-changing, I would like to give my students every opportunity to explore the world around them. By acquiring these 3Doodlers I am introducing my young artists to the world of 3D printing.
These 3Doodlers offer a great connection between STEM and art.
By sparking interest through the 3Doodlers and making the connection between art and science, I hope I can help my students better understand how these two areas overlap.
The different uses and applications of 3D printing are growing. I think the 3Doodlers would present a great opportunity to introduce my students to this technology. These pens will challenge my students to think outside of the box with their art!
