My Project

One thing I have noticed about my students is that, despite being in the height of a technological age, they still love physical pictures. Something about being able to hold them in their hands maybe? Whatever the reason, the kids light up whenever they see themselves on the hallway bulletin boards after school events and activities. They students always want to keep the photos, and sometimes want me to print extra copies even. I love printing their photos for them, because I can see the boost it gives them to their self esteem, confidence, and school pride, among other things, but the cost of ink makes it tricky sometimes to keep up with the kids’ desires.

With a solid supply of ink, I could print out all the photos of the kids participating and enjoying their time in school, providing them with a much needed serotonin boost.

While friend groups could get copies; students who are normally on the shy side could have physical evidence of being a part of something. Additionally, I would like to have a stash of fidget poppers for the kids to use as a focus tool or to aid their mental health. These poppers can serve as both a classroom tool or a means of catharsis, both of which would benefit the teenagers.
