My Project

What I love most about my students is their limitless imagination and eagerness to explore new ideas. They are curious, creative thinkers who light up when given the opportunity to build, design, and bring their visions to life. My students thrive when learning is hands-on and engaging, and I’m always looking for new ways to spark their excitement.

With a 3D printer in our classroom, students will be able to take their sketches and ideas and turn them into real, tangible objects.

Whether they’re designing keychains in art, building prototypes in STEM, or creating models to demonstrate science or math concepts, the 3D printer will provide an exciting and meaningful way to deepen their understanding.

My goal is to give students access to innovative tools that inspire creativity, problem-solving, and real-world applications. This project will not only teach them about design and engineering but also build confidence as they see their ideas come to life.

My students are special because they are future inventors, artists, engineers, and leaders. With the right tools, I know they can do amazing things—and this 3D printer will help make that possible.
