In addition to wood, clay and paint, in recent years 3D printing has become a basic material at the City and Country School in New York City. Exploration with this technology is giving our students a new dimension in modeling their ideas and actualizing their designs. See how 5th and 6th graders at our school are using 3D printing to make meaningful connections with their social studies curricula. Student projects to be discussed include: Mesopotamian themed cylinder seals, Medieval wax seals, movable type for the school’s 19th century printing press, Viking themed chess pieces and Renaissance architecture.
