3D Printing
3D printing has definitely boosted our creativity options in the education world. Making 3D models involves using new tools or products to create something by using thoughts and problem solving. It can also be used for groupwork or projects. In certain subjects such as art, theatre, science, or math you can use the printer to help create their assignments.
This kind of technology is incredible it is now making it possible for almost anyone to bring their inventions to live. Like Anthony Atala who is trying to make it possible for us to print off new body parts in our hospitals. I can't even imagine how crazy that would be people would no longer have to wait for a transplant. They also use it to make things or characters in movies and television shows.
It can help teachers improve lesson plans and can increase student engagement and helps students build essential skills.
Where 3D printing has yet to really make a huge impact, but provides an ample amount of opportunity, is within educational institutions. These range from elementary schools to high schools, universities, and maker spaces around the globe. One reason that 3D printing has been quite slow in making its impact in these institutions is simply because of the lack of knowledge of the technology. Therefore, we have learn some basic knowledge in 3D printing technology and will need to update our information or database so that we can bring this piece of technology into schools!!
