My Students
In a room surrounded by animals and plants, my students enter our jungle of a classroom engulfed by science. The classroom is designed for exploration through research and learning, via hands-on activities. By the end of the year, I want my students to be at the forefront of a STEM education.
Each student is unique in his/her own way, which makes learning that much more special.
My students love learning about the ever-changing world of science, and are captured by the fact that every day brings new discoveries in science. The school is a welcoming environment, that encourages higher-level learning, while supporting the students at every step. The school houses over 1400 middle school students, who come from different ethnic backgrounds. In order to strengthen their learning experience, I want my students to utilize all the possible resources I can provide for them.
My Project
3D printing pens are at the forefront of a greater STEM education because it allows for students' artistic abilities to be enhanced. My students have learned about the advancement of technology through 3D printing and with these pens, my students will be able to experience it first hand. Students will be able to learn about how the plastic filament is heated up and immediately cools when exposed to air. They will break down the technical aspects of the pen as they explore new designs each day. The possibilities are endless and I want to make this project possible for my junior scientists.
Being uniquely creative while exploring a STEM education will allow for a more powerful learning experience.
Students have tried a 3D printing pen before, but unfortunately, the pen did not last very long. The students are so disappointed, so I am hoping to bring more of this amazing technology into our classroom. In our environmental science class, we learn about the dangers of plastic. However, using a biodegradable plastic with these 3D pens will allow for students to see the possibilities of safe plastics in the future. These plant-based plastics are changing the world, and I want my students to be at the forefront of the change.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
