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 Students

They say the next revolution is in 3D printing, but the truth has always been the next big thing needs has always been our children. Tablets have already changed education, and so will 3D printing. Our students need to link their digital creations to to real world and they are ready.

This printer will be used within our academy.

We are a comprehensive four-year program that combines academic courses with career technical education focusing on environmental and sustainable design, and engineering technology. The academy students represent three distinct industry pathways in Automotive, Construction, and Design. Students in the academy have the opportunity to explore all three pathways to discover the career area they haven't yet realized. Our students put their skills against competitions with national career technical student organizations.

My Project

Within out three industries, fabrication is the key to linking to real world participation. The academy is in it's second year as a Project Lead the Way program, which has a strong emphasis on engineering. The first goal would be to apply the 3D printer towards these courses for prototyping and eventual fabrication. Within the individual pathways, each teacher plans to align their industry towards projects that either in the past required purchase or unable to implement. Our Automotive course would be able to fabricate bodies for CO2 racer competitions instead of relying on a stock body or wood. The possibilities to replicated auto parts is a new door. Our Construction course would be able to align their sustainability initiatives as student engineered projects vs. recreations. Building of models for demonstration are now possible. Within our Design courses, the tool of the trade is only a computer, students can now open the doors from true design to entrepreneurship.

We have a 3D printer, but having this printer created more obstacles than being used for it purpose: by the students, for the students.

We were fortunate to receive a printer many years ago, but the printer is extremely large which prevents mobility to our three classrooms. The cost of materials only allows us to print a handful per class vs full student participation. Ease of use and computer friendly meant proprietary, and cost of maintenance and support seemed to be the selling point.
