My Students

My students are currently 6th Grade Science students at a large, urban middle school in Brooklyn, NY. Many of them come from a diverse set of academic and cultural backgrounds. A majority of our students are new to the country and are learning science for the first time. They face many challenges with the language and curriculum they suddenly face here. One subject that always has the potential to reach them is science.

Science is a magical thing for these students, and helps them connect across language and ethnic barriers that may be present in other areas of their lives.

Many of these students are also economically disadvantaged, and have no chance to experience nature and the world around them outside of science class. I strive to get them out of the building and doing as many hands-on projects as possible. Their eyes always light up and they become engaged every time they do an experiment, no matter how simple or small.

Being able to find common ground over a love of chemistry, a favorite animal, or a fascination with tornadoes helps my often hesitant students work collaboratively and form bonds that carry over into other areas of their lives.

My Project

Like so many children around the country, my students had their return to school cut short and recently resumed remote instruction. As we plan to welcome them back in the building again it is my hope to provide as many interactive and hands-on activities as possible. My students have indicated that they need a break from the screens and want to learn through direct experience. I have gotten to know them well these past 2 months, and an overwhelming majority of my students this year have a keen interest in robotics, engineering, art and construction. 3D printing is something in particular they have asked about. The 3Doodler pen will allow each student the opportunity to design and construct their own 3D printed materials. They will be able to feel and touch and take home what they've made to share with their families, which is an experience that has been lacking during remote instruction. I strongly feel that this project will help to reignite the spark and passion for learning that has been dimmed by this "new normal" we are experiencing. Thank you for your help in making this school year a memorable one for my students!
