HOW THIS GOES DOWN Introducing 3D printing to students Meaningful 3D vs. toy making Establishing processes and procedures Nuts and bolts of 3D printers Student friendly CAD and management Integrating 3D printing design challenges to curriculum Resources for 3D printing-linking to curriculum Example of student work/challenges How to differentiate a challenge & make it real world **WANT TO PLAY ALONG?

Introducing 3D printing 3D printing for creating things that help us solve a problem (EDP) Example 1: Prosthetics- Dad and an Xbox Limbitless solutions Example 2: Helping Animals Example 3: Solving problems *Must be original student work that is a solution to an EDC or solves a problem

Meaningful vs. chicken bunny What is meaningful: Is a student original design Has a purpose Solves a problem What is not meaningful:

Processes and procedures Establishing school wide processes and procedures makes it easy to say “no” Students can only work on their own original designs School controlled usernames and passwords Only print student created designs as a solution to an EDC All work is done at school For student work Create a criteria for every job Beginner work must have solid base and supports (pyramid) Students check their own Students have 2 other students check their work Submit to teacher for final check
