3D Printing with a Purpose

Session Description

As more classrooms gain access to 3D printers, teachers might be interested in ways to use the printers for a purpose. This session will highlight a workflow that highlights possible printers, projects, and the payoff of using this technology. From an 8th grade science teacher that has utilized a printer in the classroom for the past 2 years, teachers will get plenty of resources and ideas in this session.
