3D Printing for Educators

This workshop will give you the foundation you need to bring 3D printing into the classroom. We’ll begin at square one of the 3D printing process and go from ideation to finished print, covering everything in between.  You’ll learn how 3D printers work, how to create and prepare models for printing, how to operate your printer, and how to troubleshoot it.  We'll also explore tools, materials, and software you’ll need, and what to consider when choosing a printer for yourself. We'll discuss lesson ideas, ways to manage projects effectively, and how to design your space to maximize learning. Join us for an innovative day of learning, designing, and making!

Participants must bring a laptop upon which they can install new software in order to fully participate.
