My Students

Grasping math, science, and social studies concepts are often difficult to many of my students. Using MakerBot to create 3D manipulatives will help bring these concepts to life for the students in my classroom.

My 4th graders attend an urban school in the great state of Wisconsin.

Despite their various backgrounds, ability levels and low socioeconomic status (approximately 95% receive free or reduced lunch), they work together to create the feeling of community in the classroom. My students are extremely engaged in learning when the lessons involve technology.

My Project

My students will use the MakerBot 3D printer to create visual representations of various concepts to help them better understand what they are learning. In math, they will be able to create manipulatives that are of high interest to them. In science and social studies, students will be able to explore models and concepts that interest them.

My project will improve my classroom by providing my students the opportunity to use innovative technology to create their own manipulatives for hands on learning experiences.

This equipment will allow my students to use technology that most people don't even know exists.
