  • Hello Kirk,

    Nice presentation, read the other comments. As a fellow teacher I think the lecture was informative and followed your course outline. As I am just starting to make curriculum for the Middle School on 3d printing, I'm finding myself what to teach first. I have been teaching 2d and 3d Cad for over 10 years and 20 years in the Architecture field and feel that terminology is the first hurdle. I look back to when I first started on the computer and learning both cad vocabulary and also the computer vocabulary to build on my understanding on how to navigate to create a 2d drawing. Back in 1985 AutoCad had not Icons to speak of and had to type in all the commands by hand. As developing my curriculum I'm sure I will have to revise along the way. I'm looking forward to viewing future  lectures as it will deepen my knowledge of this growing area of additive manufacturing. Thanks for my first online visitation of 3D printing.
