If you are interested in learning more about 3D printing, or if you would like to be a lead teacher for your site, please let me know. Reach out. Email me. Let me know if this is interesting to you.
We can build community within our communities by showing students in grades 4, 5, and 6 how to design/edit models for children in our special education department. Pictured below: Flexible gecko. Braille cards. Cane tags.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to sit at a kidney table and teach blind children how to read? How can you inexpensively acquire multiple sets of braille cards? I’ll give you the answer: we can print them. Or how can a blind child locate their cane as it rests on the wall? Same answer: we can print a solution.
Long-term, real world connections. 3D printing will impact many industries (nearly all) of tomorrow. Eye glasses. Fashion. Machinery. Mechanics. Medicine. Computers. Architecture. Transportation. Dentistry. Organ transplant. Tumor removal. Bone surgeries. Many industries are being reshaped by what people can produce on a 3D printer.
Bootcamp. Sherri Johnston will email out a presenter form soon. If you would like to teach a session at Bootcamp, just pay attention to that submission form. Dates are June 15 and 16. Location is CART (Center for Advanced Research and Technology). Cost for CUSD staff is free. Email me if you have more questions.
Team, you’re awesome and you are doing great things. I am thankful for you.
Stay Curious,
Melissa Culver
