I’m a huge believer in the power of 3D printing in the classroom when it connects to problem solving and learning goals. The video below shows 3D printing in action with an overview of an activity completed by elementary school students. They identified a problem, determined how to fix the problem, and printed the solution!
What I think is most important when you’re looking to bring 3D printing to your school is how it can elevate student collaboration, curiosity, and creation. Giving students opportunities to problem solve and work together is essential across the grade levels. These content-rich learning experiences are also important components of the school day. It’s exciting to see the growth and potential of 3D printing in education.
