They become more motivated when we discuss how these materials can help them stay on task and engaged in class. \r\nI will attach some photos below so you could take a peek of how my students are using the classroom tools.

In a process that is far more then building plastic pieces, our students are actively engaged in imaginative building, value based problem solving and active critical thinking. My students engaged in design thinking when face with a real world problem and trying to design a print that might solve that problem. They brainstormed, began designs and created multiple iterations of a single project. Using design software the tested there ideas and helped each other test their products. This process enhances their spatial reasoning as they visualize objects in three dimensions, strengthening their understanding of geometric concepts. When a print fails or a design requires adjustments, students must analyze the issue, troubleshoot, and apply critical thinking to find solutions, fostering resilience and a growth mindset. \r\nThey worked together, collaborating and communicating to work through issues and errors as they came upon them. Hands-on experience with digital design and printer mechanics began building technical literacy, while mathematical concepts are applied practically in design and scaling.\r\nWe've see a wonderful impact with students designing, creating their visions and then fixing real world problems uncovered during their print.

Students now enjoy working together on projects, sitting in a more relaxed and focused way, which encourages better communication and teamwork.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our current projects are even more exciting. We're working on a unit where students will research topics related to nature and the environment, using the new books as one of their main resources.
