Keeping students engaged can be challenging, especially when the subject is difficult and requires hands-on attention. 3D printing lets educators illustrate difficult concepts and enhance engagement through interactive learning. Increasing engagement within the classroom can improve student participation and creates a rewarding learning environment for all. We want to make sure our students are engaged and challenged in the classroom. By having a 3D printer as a resource, they will be able to incorporate what they are learning in to physical visual aides to improve their learning experience. Being able to try new things, test theories, and think more creatively can aid the learning process. 3D printers encourage students to be innovative and creative because they can adjust their idea through trial and error. As a result, students are more likely to remember the facts and lessons learned. Research has shown that there has been a lack of students pursuing STEM subjects after school. However, this is something that schools and universities can change. 3D printing can inspire curiosity in STEM subjects by giving students the chance to understand complex concepts and test theories. This can later encourage students to experience and explore a career in science or engineering. Having new business opportunities in the community and surrounding areas that utilize the type of skilled learned by using a device such as this can translate into CNC and other trades positions. We want our students to have any advantage they can get for their post graduation lives and a 3D printer has the potential to help tremendously to meet this goal.
