Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are always ready for something more, I have students that get ahead in curriculum just for the sake of having more time to learn other things. I have students that make it their goal to make sure everyone in the class understands what is going on. I have students that ask me about how my day was just because they want to know how I am doing.

These same amazing students have been working hard on 3D modelling projects and I want to give them the opportunity to see their projects come to life.

They deserve to see their hard work come to fruition.

The goal of the 3D Printer is to show that I have noticed these students working hard and I appreciate them so much. I hope they can get a bunch of use out of these materials before they graduate and that they will always have fond memories of 3D Printing/Modelling.
