You Dream it, We Make it
Do you have an idea for something that would help a student, but you’re not sure how to make it? Submit your idea to the Dream Makers Idea Challenge.
It’s a multi-district challenge put on by NE Metro 916 to spur innovation and awareness of how 3D printing. The main focus is for special needs students but is open to all staff and ideas. This technology can help you meet specific adaptation needs of our students. The selected ideas will be created by our group of talented designers and engineers during the summer. We will then 3D print as many copies of your idea as needed for next school year, turning your dreamed “thing” into reality.
Examples of 3D printed objects will be displayed at 916 program sites over the next few weeks for hands on investigation.
Deadline for ideas is May 30.

Judging Criteria:
How well it solves a problem
how well the device is described or drawn
Item is smaller than a 6"x6" cube or could be assembled from smaller pieces
