3D printing has many applications for all classrooms including allowing the creation of custom models, and creating replicas of objects that otherwise would be out of reach of most classrooms. This session would focus on implementing the technology of 3D printing to the classroom. Teachers will be instructed on the basics of 3D printing, implementation, where to find models to print, 3D printing’s advantages and disadvantages, and the finances of 3D printing. The session will include a live demonstration of printing and an example lesson. Teachers will be given access to our collection of models for their own use.
