3D Printing Tools
The use of 3D printing technology in the K-12 classroom provides several benefits for students and educators. First and foremost, 3D printing promotes creativity and problem-solving skills as it enables students to bring their ideas to life and turn abstract concepts into tangible objects. Additionally, 3D printing enhances spatial intelligence and visualization skills as students learn to manipulate and design three-dimensional objects. Moreover, the technology exposes students to real-world applications of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects, which can inspire future career paths. 3D printing also enables students to learn at their own pace and explore topics in a hands-on and interactive manner, which can lead to increased engagement and motivation in the classroom. Overall, incorporating 3D printing in K-12 education can provide a more immersive and dynamic learning experience for students while preparing them for the technological advances of the future.

FIGURO 3D
Figuro is a free, online 3D Modeling App.
It is not DoDEA approved but it can be utilized without creating an account.
If a student begions a project, they can leave the window open and it will be available for further editing (if the student uses the same device).
Here is a link to a short 5 minute tutorial of the basic features of Figuro:
