My Students

Eleanor Roosevelt stated that, "the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." My students are dreamers and are only restricted by the tools that are provided to them in my class, but what if they weren't held back? What if you could be a part of their dreams and creativity?

My 6th grade class is always up for challenge.

It's my goal in the classroom to always try and create an environment where learning can be interesting and exciting. They do struggle at times and sometimes have difficulty with the curriculum but they always strive to persevere through challenges and obstacles. I am always trying to introduce new ideas and new concepts to my class, this year we began coding and building websites and they have struggled through parts of the process but they always come out with a greater understanding and a feeling of success. This project offers yet another avenue for my students to experience technology in the real world.

My Project

Using the MakerBot 3D Printing technology, students can literally create anything that they can imagine. Once you upload a design image, the printer sections it out and builds layer on layer until the structure is complete. The students that are having trouble understanding math can now create their own manipulatives to aid in their understanding. Students working on a science project for the science fair can now create parts of their experiments using the printer. Have an idea for an art project? It can do that too! As a teacher, it opens up so many possibilities. I can make puzzles, design projects, use it for robots, create manipulatives and much more.

There are over 1.4 million jobs available to those with degrees in Computer Science but only around 400,000 students pursuing these careers.

Having a MakerBot in the classroom would not only introduce them to new technology and logic but will also inspire them to be creative and help them to engineer their very own ideas. By donating, you can be a part of their creativity and introduce them to a world where their future is truly open to new possibilities
