Embracing 3D Printers in High School
Cowley International College in St. Helens, England where Advanced Skills Teacher Rob Jones uses 3D printing to teach his high school students. Because Ultimaker is open-source, students are able to play around and try all sorts of different things with the printers. This allows them to experience for themselves what works, and what doesn’t. It gives them the freedom to think creatively and without restraint. "What it teaches the students is not to be afraid of making mistakes. By physically printing them it allows them to test and then improve upon their design. – Rob Jones, teacher" What’s even...
3D Printer Makerspace in Primary School
More and more, 3D printing is being used in education as a tool to teach people at all levels of learning. Teachers use 3D objects to help primary school kids grasp concepts, refine students' creative skills in high school and help them learn technical subjects at university. At that stage they’re often using them for prototyping projects – a shift to a more professional use of the Ultimaker almost identical to its use in companies in the real world. To give you an idea just how much Ultimakers are being embraced by education we’d like to share a story...
