Dates Added for Teacher Workshops on 3D Printing
Join us for a fun, educational day!
Area teachers are invited to come to MSU St. Andrews for a day of learning about computer aided design and 3D printing. These small group workshops are designed to allow each teacher personal access to design software and a 3D printer. Instructors Tracy Zhang, PhD, and Bob Bubeck, PhD, will share their research and industry knowledge and explain how teachers might use the concepts in their classrooms.
The creation of 3D objects with included openings or cavities can assist students in visualization, planning and technological understanding. Standards-oriented examples to be explored may be taken from geometry, chemistry, mathematics, geography, physics, and elementary mechanics.
These sessions are complimentary and include lunch. Space is limited to 10 teachers per workshop.
