Teaching 3D printing

Workshopshed

Just spotted that Makerbot have Lesson Plans on their site

 

http://curriculum.makerbot.com/lessonPlans.html

 

Does anyone teach 3D printing in schools?

Parents

  • I have been working with the MakerBot Education group and am in the process of building a set of open source lessons that can be downloaded and integrated into classroom curricula as part of the SOLID Learning program (http://www.solidlearning.org) but seem to spend most of my weekends conducting workshops for teachers who want to build their own RepRaps rather than building lessons for the students right now. What's magnificnet about the community is that teachers will often share their individual designs and use recommendations with others using standard 3D Model repositories. It's a great time to be in education!

    Hi,

    I was scanning this a.m. re: 3D printing...Exploring and teaching about the exploration is fantastic.  I applaud the teachers challenging our kids to learn new, participate in it, to not be afraid..but learn and challenge forward. From the EE Times: An article to point just this out...

    UK Elementary Students to Study Robotics, 3D Printing & Laser-Cutting – What About the US?

    I just read that, under a new national curriculum, students in the UK as young as five will study robotics, 3D printing, programming, and laser-cutting technologies. Why? The UK is putting muscle behind the desire to have more students study engineering, construction, and manufacturing. Addressing a 100,000 shortfall annually of math, science, technology, and engineering graduates, the new classes will replace such life skills classes as sewing and bicycle riding.
