I am an 8th grade Industrial Technology Teacher in Iowa. I am also a Masters student at The University of Northern Iowa. I am doing this site as a project for an independent study course I am taking. My goal is to create a starting point for any teacher to begin to implement 3D printing into their classroom. It is easy to see the connections of 3D printing in a Engineering course but I believe it can be used in all content areas. Seeing students interact with a 3D printer is an awesome experience. It enhances their learning and gets them interested in the project we are working on. If you would like to contribute a lesson or idea, or if you want to let us know how we are doing, please go click the contact link below to reach out to us. Thanks for visiting our web page.
