This is an introductory project that is great for introducing teachers and students to 3D printing. It requires very little specialist knowledge and is a wonderful gateway project to build confidence with 3D printers.
One of the big challenges when introducing a new technology into a school is getting busy teachers to take the first step. 3D printing is a very new technology. Teachers from many subject areas are interested but are put off by the time commitment associated with having to learn 3D modelling in addition to learning to drive the printer. This project was successfully created to introduce teachers with no experience of 3D design or 3D printing to using 3D printers.
Recently this project was run at Wellington High School, New Zealand with two groups of Y10 (~15Y.O) students over two weeks by teachers with no 3D modelling experience and only a minimal introduction to using the printers. By the end of the project the teachers (and students) were much more confident about
