Tell us a little about your research
My primary research looks at ways to better integrate and teach 3D printing technology in various education environments. I am currently working with 3rd and 4th grade students in Baltimore City. In addition to this, I am interested to learn about potentially positive outcomes associated with introducing this technology to diverse populations.
