Intro. to Teaching Students Learn about STEM Using 3D Printers

Introduction to Teaching level I students are in the process
of opening the DMTC 3D Print Shop, a school-based store
that will be available to students, employees, and communi-
ty members. Students are learning how to use an Ender 3D
printer to create objects like keychains, phone stands, jars,
and more to be sold in the 3D Print Shop. The shop will also
offer things like movie and video game memorabilia, and all
proceeds will be reinvested into the Intro. to Teaching Program. As part of this pro-
ject, students are learning about STEM education and how teachers can utilize
affordable technology like 3D printers to facilitate STEM lessons in the classroom.
