My Project

Our school community has suffered so much due to the pandemic, emotionally, socially, and academically. Now that we are back in the classroom, I am looking for new ways to engage, motivate and challenge my students. My goal is to obtain a few 3D printers that would allow my students the opportunity to explore technology and art; while learning to design and create objects that are meaningful to them.

The 3D printer will make learning more interactive, and help my students develop their problem-solving skills while having fun in the process.
