My Project

What I love most about the students at my school is their curiosity to learn and willingness to explore new ideas. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they all have a passion for hands-on learning and creativity. With these 3D printing supplies, students will have the chance to bring their designs and ideas to life in a tangible way.

This isn’t just about making things 3D; it’s about learning the process of design, testing, and improvement.

It’s about teaching them perseverance, critical thinking, and how to apply what they learn in the classroom to the world around them.

My goals for this project as a technology coach are to help all students on campus enhance their understanding of STEAM concepts, foster their creativity, and give them the confidence to build out their ideas. By providing them with the filament, I want to ensure they can continue to develop these future-ready skills.

Every spool of filament represents endless possibilities. It’s a tool that will help them learn by doing. This project will empower them to see themselves as innovators, capable of creating and contributing to their world.
