My Students

The students who take my engineering and robotics classes are a part of a large, urban school and come from many different cultural, ethnic, and economic backgrounds. However, these pieces of their identities do not define them.

The students who take my classes are curious, creative, and in general, they are thinkers.

They come in everyday willing to learn and be challenged. They are future engineers and scientists and I want to help start them off on the right foot.

My Project

Being able to use laptops in schools are wonderful because they are portable and can allow students to collaborate easier with their classmates. However, some software functions that would be second nature, like scrolling, toggling, rotating, and zooming in and out are lost when there is only a trackpad.

The computer mouses will be used to help give students better access to the computer animated design (CAD) software that they use.

This will help allow for students to create designs with ease. Students will also be able to focus more on collaborating with peers and exploring the engineering design process.
