One of the most desirable activities in our makerspaces is 3D design and printing. When students use the design thinking process to create 3D models, they are become inventors and problem solvers. It also creates responsible digital citizens through collaboration with peers. 3D printing can engage even the most reluctant learners. It has that wow factor that allows students to show their learning in a new way. Students can create a prototype of an artifact that can help a character solve a problem. They can also recreate historical artifacts in social studies, print 3D models of molecules in chemistry, and create 3-dimensional objects in geometry, as a few examples. Through 3D printing, students will be both career and college ready by designing solutions for real-world problems just as engineers and scientist do. Not only will this promote problem solving skills, it will also promote empathy and teamwork. The possibilities are endless!
