March 17, 2021
During this unusual school year, Marengo Mandarin Dual Immersion teachers Priscilla Dea and Taylor Giberson developed an innovative way to approach the annual fourth grade California mission project. —With the support of SPUSD Instructional Coach Chad Bryant, the students then translated their 2D blueprints to 3D models using the free Tinkercad application. Six of the models were 3D printed and given to the class. This project helped deepen students’ understanding and engaged them with technology tools while learning transferable skills.
