3. 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

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

5. 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

WHAT I LIKE:
SIMPLE INTERFACE
STUDENTS CAN SAVE DESIGNS ON WEB/NAME
CLEAR PARAMETERS OF MEASUREMENT
TEACHER generates and access code for students
Students can share online, work in groups, or share with the teacher
THEN CREATE A DESIGN THAT MEETS THE CRITERIA
