This workshop will explore applications of 3D printing in different K-12 curricular areas.  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 Elementary mechanics Prior familiarity with the simple use of 3D printers is assumed, such as gained…

Did you know that there will be a total eclipse of the moon this month?  Come to MSU St. Andrews in Midland to learn more!  And, if the skies are clear, we will follow with an observing session.  The Moon and Mars are visible in the early evening sky this month, both by eye and by telescope, even Uranus is visible with binoculars. …

The open labs are designed for teachers or others, who have 3D printing experience and would like to get more hands-on experience with CAD and printing. Participants will use various CAD software to design models, and print with various materials including dissolvable materials, soft materials, nylon, ABS etc. There will be no formal instruction in this workshop, but instructors will assist in…

Give your students the advantages of 21st-century visual aids and make your classes in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics come alive!
