Construct3D 2017

Stuck on how to use your 3D printer with the youngest students at your school? In a downtown Manhattan school, students as young as 2nd grade have been creating their own designs for projects that align with the science curriculum. Some of these projects include a cargo boat challenge, a skyscraper research project, invention prototypes, glider testing, and cell organelle creation. Elementary science teacher Paul Schmitz has also developed a variety of mini challenges that can be applied to create an after school club based around 3D printing for elementary schools. These are all done with kid-friendly programs such as Tinkercad, Thingiverse, Blokify, and 123D Sculpt. He's here to prove to you that digital making can start at any age!
