3D printing as a process for creating real-world objects from digital models has hit its stride in the consumer and academic spheres, and many places of learning are now equipped with some form of 3D printing – though a lot of printers are, sadly, collecting dust. Educators are looking beyond the initial novelty of these devices and imagining ways to deploy them for pedagogical support, and curricula that integrate 3D printing no longer need to be limited to pure tech or engineering disciplines.

This workshop will provide participants with a brief overview of 3D printing as a concept and a process, as well as practical advice on how to make the most out of a 3D printer in the classroom. Whether you want to create tangible, customized learning objects to facilitate understanding of complex ideas, or you want to actually include your students in the design process and foster a mindset of iterative “productive struggle”, join us for this session to spark your creativity and get excited about 3D printing!

Please register for this program.

Please note:

Do you have questions about 3D printing and how it can be combined with a pedagogical practice or OER? Please join us for 3D Printing Office Hours on August 11 at 4-5 p.m.

If you have any questions, please contact .
