Thomas Merriman

Merriman’s innovative teaching idea, “Enhancing Creativity,” is focused on inspiring creativity throughout the school curriculum by providing technology to use within the classrooms. The grant money will be used to purchase a 3D printer and any necessary software that will be implemented into classrooms and extracurricular classes, including Theatre, Shop, Science Club and Audio-Visual Productions Club. The technology will allow students to build models for sets, design projects for storytelling, and create representations of innovative ideas and inventions. Merriman’s goal is to provide 3D printing capabilities for all students and staff to build relationships within the school and provide endless possibilities to explore.
