3D printing is amazing for its ability to make complex shapes layer-by-layer from nothing but a coil of plastic wire. EASY Learn™ for Kids reveals the technology behind the magic of 3D printing through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
In this workshop you will pick a product from a selection, then make it your own by choosing color options, decorations or labels. At least one component of the product will be 3D printed. While the parts are printing, you will:
After attending this workshop, you will be in a better position to negotiate for that 3D printer you've had your eye on. Having been exposed to making parts and assemblies, you might decide to further your design and fabrication skills by taking additional EASY Learn™ classes.
In this workshop you will pick a product from a selection, then make it your own by choosing color options, decorations or labels. At least one component of the product will be 3D printed. While the parts are printing, you will:
- Perform a science experiment based on forming a wall using only tools that were available before 3D printing.
- From experimental data, use engineering to identify and devise a process improvement for wall building.
- Implement your technology and rerun the experiment. Now, see if you can make a circular wall—after all, every castle needs a turret or two.
- Learn how math, computers and machinery must all come together to build a truly righteous fort, as well as countless other complex creations that can be made through 3D printing.
