My Project

Our high school in East New York, Brooklyn, is a Title I school where many students face significant challenges both inside and outside the classroom. We are seeking to inspire our students by introducing them to the world of 3D printing, an innovative technology that combines creativity with engineering. This project will provide our students with hands-on experience in designing and printing 3D models, figures, and cosplay elements, fostering their interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. My students are very excited about the ability to gain hands-on experiences in STEM fields.
