My Project

We here at WHMS have a lot of tech-thirsty students. Our students are smart, caring, and generous. Their joy and appreciation shine through, especially when receiving small rewards like stickers or treats. Imagine the excitement on their faces when given a new learning toy that inspires them to improve and excel! The smiles and enthusiasm will undoubtedly expand exponentially, showcasing their potential and eagerness to embrace new challenges. These middle school students have a remarkable ability to uplift one another and create a positive learning environment.

There are so many applications for this the of technology offered by the Longer LK5 Pro 3D Printer and SUNLU PETG 2500g 3D Printer Multicolor Filament Bundle.

This will be a shared resource between our Science, Art, Math, and After School Clubs to teach about computer design and engineering, sharing and fun, and of course, art and other technologies. As a Science Teacher and a lover of the Arts, i am proud to say that we aspire to be a S.T.E.A.M. school, and this will definitely help us achieve that goal. It will give many teachers the opportunity to request and quickly create class-appropriate fidgets for those who are ADHD or on the spectrum, helping these students focus better and achieve more.

I know that there are future applications of this technology that I cannot even imagine at this point, but I am sure the limitless imagination of the students at Windy Hill will lead to new discoveries and applications for this tech!

Thank you so much for your support & generosity.

Best regards,

Mr. Justin Gates & Mr. Quinonez
