Help me give my students a CNC machine so they can create and build things.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. R. Sterling's classroom raised $704

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

Students will use the CNC machine to create geometric modes and robotics parts. Student proposals for new robotics parts and modes designs are incomplete if they cannot create completed versions of their solutions. The finished product will allow them to practice using computer-assisted design software, experience design practice, and better understand geometry. Students will see their ideas come to life and make something tangible for a project that addresses a problem present in robotics. They will also learn how geometry intertwines their everyday lives and communities.

This project would significantly help my students' understanding of the design cycle.

They would see the process connect to a final product relevant to themselves. Students can practice using design technology and experience careers related to it: robotics, architecture, graphic design, modeling, and mathematics. Ultimately, they will be problem-solvers, empowered to use the skills and knowledge they acquire in their classes to improve their lives and those of people around them.
