3D Printing in the Classroom: Course Conclusions and Additional Resources
3D printing is a rapidly growing technology that many schools are trying to introduce throughout the country. This course was a very brief introduction to the idea of it and some basic skills to be able to implement it in your classroom. This course was by no means an all encompassing journey to learn about 3D printing as there are many different types of printers, different softwares to model with, and so many different careers to hook students with. This course was meant to just be an introduction, so if you are interested in 3D printing and you want to explore it there are a ton of resources out there.
Here are a couple of extra resources to get you started to investigate:
Steps for Creating a Strong 3D Printing Program
3D Printing Activities in Your Classroom
3D Printing in Your Classroom Database
Once again, these are only scratching the surface as well, but they are a really good starting point to use for your classroom.
Reflection Activity:
Create one project/activity for your classroom that you could implement a 3D modeling component into.
