My Project

Students in middle school science courses are curious learners. They are developing their love of science disciplines and are eager to develop their skills and expand their interests. Our science program has been striving to provide students with new and exciting opportunities to experience Science in innovative ways.

Recently students have been turning their attention towards the Scientific possibilities of 3-D printing.

Teaching students about the innovations made possible by 3-D printing, as well as learning the skills to make their designs. They can further expand their learning and take ownership of science pedagogy. The goal is for students to become more eager and independent learners.
