3D Printing
3D Printing Examples
What is it? - 3D printers are a tool that can help students take what they design in a software program, and make it a tangible real object. There are many different printers available, and many brands have come down in price for a school purchases.
How is it used as a learning tool? - A history lesson on how 3D printing has and is affecting the lives of people from prosthetics and organ replacement, to being able to replace a part that broke on your television remote are some simple, but, real examples to share with students. This background knowledge heightens student's interest, and begins an amazing process of engagement, problem solving, experiencing failure, and real world thinking. 3D printing and design can start at any level with apps that make it easy to sketch your design, and to software that allows you to build more complex ideas.

What is it? - Don't just play a video game, you get to actually make them! Bloxels allow children to create video games without the need to understand coding and computer science. Students can build stories and make their own video game experience.
How is it used as a learning tool?
*Create a replica human body, and travel the path to different organs to see & learn how they work.
*Create a biography, then travel through time to learn about important history facts and contributions made by the historic person.
*Create inspiring choose your own adventure stories, or recreate a new ending to a story and design a new learning outcome.
