Learning Technology Center (LTC) 3D Printing for Educators

Innovative problem solvers are using 3D printing in every industry, from medicine to construction to space travel. Teach your students to design for the future by diving into 3D printing in your curriculum! Whether you’re thinking of buying your first printer, or you have one that’s not being used to its full potential, this workshop will give you the foundation you need. 

We’ll begin at square one of the 3D printing process and go from ideation to finished print, covering everything in between. 

You’ll learn how: 

• 3D printers work
• How to create and prepare models for printing
• How to operate your printer, and how to troubleshoot it 

We'll cover tools, materials, and software you’ll need, and what to consider when choosing a printer for yourself. We'll even discuss lesson ideas, ways to manage projects effectively, and how to design your space to maximize learning. 

Join us for an innovative day of learning, designing, and making! (Lunch will be provided) 

Please bring a laptop (Mac or Windows) to this workshop.
