This is episode is TRUE CONFESSION of a teacher who knew NOTHING about 3D printing, got excited about it by chance, and completely MANIFESTED it to happen with ZERO funding!!! What originally caught my eye was the MySTEMKits Company. Why? Well.. because the print designs are already made for you to use in every subject with lesson plans. That was the first time I thought... yeah I could do that! Find out more about them here: MySTEMKits Learning
I literally had no knowledge of 3D printing.... I didn't even have any idea what kind of file a 3D print was considered as... there are quite a few. Now... what to use, how to do it, and how does it work in the classroom besides being hellacool?
Actually, it is the most underused tech for everyday teachers, but it can seriously enhance Project-Based Learning like NOTHING else!!
This is my story! 3 years later I am a Maker's Empire Ambassador.... they actually trust me to share at conferences and teach others! WHAT!! Yes... I am there. Was that my plan? NO! Not at all! Maker's Empire is literally my 3D printing LIFESAVER!!!! Check out their latest blog post all about how I used 3D printing during COVID remotely, and am ready to use it again if needed!
Literally Maker's Empire is the BEST, most engaging, and student friendly interface for teaching students. They have the best learning management system, and easiest training for teachers and students! Don't believe me? Just visit their website: https://www.makersempire.com/
You will LOVE every minute of it! And your students..... they won't be able to get enough! Can I just say this.... my best 3D print students are..... 1st Graders!!!
I simply love sharing my STEAM experiences and hope that I can share to convert more teachers everyday! Check out my The iHeartSTEAM blog and get to know me!
