Is your district interested in adding 3D printing to the curriculum? Does your district currently have 3D printers that are simply gathering dust? Join us for an informative, hands-on session where we’ll explore the basics of 3D printers and 3D printing. During this two-hour workshop, we’ll dive deep into the fundamentals of 3D printing, including the software needed for successful printing, the best printer models for education, best practices for planning a 3D printing space, and some curriculum integration essentials. 3D printing has SO many real-world, practical applications and can be easily integrated at any grade level and across the curriculum. Come see how with one of Illinois’ educational 3D printing experts! All participants must bring a laptop to participate fully in this workshop.
