PrintLab - Classroom
| 3D Printing Curriculum |
| PrintLab Classroom is an online platform of 3D printing lesson plans combined |
| with a certified teacher training course. Our approach is to take inspiration |
| from the innovative uses of 3D printing in industry and bring these through to |
| education. The curriculum is aligned to a range of standards across different |
| subject areas and challenges students to design assistive technology, reusable |
| packaging prototypes, hands-free virus solutions and more. |
| A Toolkit for Educators |
| Our online toolkit allows you to pick and choose from 40+ projects to build |
| your own pathway for students - saving you the time and stress of creating |
| your own lesson plans. Each project is equipped with downloadable teaching |
| materials such as presentations, workbooks and rubrics, as well as explainer |
| videos and 3D design tutorials hosted on a student portal for a blended |
| learning experience. |
