Science To The Third Dimension

My students need to step outside of their area and start experiencing the latest technology in the science lab. 3D glasses will enable my scholars to view science in a whole and fun new way.

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

I teach about 345 scholars in a one week period with scholars ranging from first grade all the way through fifth grade. Most of the scholars in my school have a lack of background knowledge as many of them don’t travel outside of the central area of the city. Some of the students I teach are not even able to communicate in English properly.

Despite the difficulties these lower-income students face, they always walk into my science lab ready to learn.

In this Title-1 school, located in central El Paso, my scholars have a great thirst for accomplishing great things. I use a variety of technology in my science lab. From iPads and QR codes, to microscopes with television screens mounted on them, to some of the low-tech STEM activities where they learn about simple robotics and coding. Scholars in my science lab get a variety of incredible knowledge.

My Project

I have been experimenting with educational 3D videos for my scholars for over a year. I currently have 4 pairs of 3D glasses and have a 3D Blu-ray player which I purchased myself at a high cost.

I believe that this experience would create an excitement for science that my scholars have never had before.

The 3D glasses that I am requesting are specifically created for the projector that I have in my science lab. The glasses use what is called "DLP Link" technology. They use beams of light from the projector to create a 3D image while using the glasses. This technology is much more affordable than using the typical 3D experience as I would not be forced to purchase a special screen or TV in addition with the 3D glasses. I know this technology is affordable in comparison with the traditional 3D screens.

I am attempting to be the first in my school district to add 3D videos as a part of my science lab experience where students would be able to view 3D videos that will let experience science in a new engaging and fun way. The students at C Elementary will truly benefit by becoming a part and immersing themselves into the action of science.
