Today I'm at the Pennsylvania Science Teacher Conference!

One of the presenters suggested that we ask our students 3 questions when you present them with something:

What do you see?

What do you know?

What do you wonder?

You’re not my students in a class, BUT I teach you about squid anyway!

Let’s try it. Take a look at this pic.

What do you see?

What do you know?

What do you wonder?

My group of college friends and I were talking and we came to the conclusion that everyone that is a stem major has some form of neurodivergence. Mostly adhd, with some other stuff sprinkled in. And now that we've talked about I refuse to believe anyone that is neurotypical would willing put themselves through the shit stem majors go through

Wholesome news for a Friday afternoon! This gent here is Stephen Baxter, a bit of a legend of SF writing. He's got a PhD in Engineering, he's a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society, he's co-written books with Arthur C. Clarke and Terry Pratchett (another honorary graduate of the Open University), has written Doctor Who novels, and the only authorised sequel to H.G. Wells' The Time Machine. He's a Vice-President of the H.G. Wells Society, former President of the British Science Fiction Society, and won multiple international SF awards, including the Philip K. Dick Award, The John W. Campbell Award and the Seiun Award.

This picture is from when he received his honorary doctorate from the Open University, a UK University designed to help make higher education more accessible. They awarded him the honorary doctorate in recognition of his services to science fiction!

On 31 March 2023, in the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, UK, Stephen Baxter was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of the University by the Open University. This was in recognition of "Services to the Arts and Sciences", and in particular to celebrate Stephen's "extraordinary contribution to science fiction writing . . . His works . . . have no doubt been responsible for sparking the imagination of scientific researchers."

Stephen, in all his splendour, advised me on sending me the news "Take care on opening the photo. To me I look like I'm graduating from Zombie High."

WHY STEM?

It has always been my desire to become an architect since I was a child, which is why I chose the track of stem because my course pertains to it. As a result, adopting this path will be the beginning of my stepping stone toward reaching my life goal.

Dear Gus & Magnus,

At the STEM camp today we did lots of interviews with kids and teachers and engineers (like Sean, who oversees Garver's Oklahoma Aviation practice) and we tagged along on a tour of the Lawton-Ft. Sill airport.

Dad.

3D Printing In Classroom: A Hands-On Approach To STEM Education

The education system is continuously evolving through technological advancements paving way for better education and intellectual citizens of tomorrow. Online learning, EdTech innovations, gamification and immersive learning have reshaped the way concepts are taught, making education a more fun and an engaging experience. 3D printing is a novel addition to the technological spectrum of contemporary educational system. With the introduction of 3D printing in education, educational institutions can give a better understanding of complex concepts especially in STEM that encompasses the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The 3D Printing Market in Education Sector size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 23.49% between 2022 and 2027. 

In this blog we give you a brief overview of how integrating 3D printing in STEM education can enhance the overall learning experience for students while diving into the benefits of 3D printing in education.

What is 3D printing?

3D printing is the process of converting your digital CAD files, like the .STL format into a three-dimensional physical object. The digital files are created using CAD software and then printed using a slicer software. The 3D printing slicer software slices the digital file into multiple layers and generates a geometric code that instructs the 3D printer to follow a certain path to print the object. The object is printed layer by layer hence making it a part of the additive manufacturing process.   

What are the Benefits of 3D Printing in Education?

Education in a STEM discipline requires more practical knowledge and hands-on training to understand the concepts better. There is an evident difference between theoretical bookish knowledge and what one learns via practical experimentation. And this is where the use of 3D printing in education comes into play. 

Enhancing student engagement

Picture two scenarios: First one is where the teacher is reading out paragraphs from the textbook and drawing certain diagrams on the board to explain a scientific concept. Second scenario is where the teacher comes with the physical objects in hand to explain you the concepts. 

Now which scenario would keep the students engaged and intrigued in knowing more about the subjects? The second one, obviously!

The hands-on nature of 3D printing in STEM education captures students' attention, fostering a deeper interest in STEM subjects and promoting active participation in the learning process.

Give Room to Creativity & Innovation

Students are encouraged to think creatively and solve real-world problems by designing and prototyping solutions using 3D printing technology. 3D printing is like providing students with a blank canvas and a set of vibrant colors, allowing them to paint their imaginative ideas into tangible reality. 

For instance, in a physics class, students might create a working model of a simple machine like a lever or pulley, exploring innovative ways to improve its efficiency.

Hands-on Practical Training of Subjects

3D printing allows students to apply theoretical concepts from STEM subjects to tangible projects, reinforcing understanding through hands-on experience.

In an engineering class, students can design and manufacture mechanical parts using 3D printing, providing practical insights into the product development lifecycle.

Improve Problem Solving & Critical Thinking Skills of Students

The natural synergy between 3D printing and STEM education lies in their shared focus on problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. Utilizing 3D printing in the classroom can bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications, making STEM subjects more engaging and relevant for students. Students tasked with designing a functional prosthetic limb ing 3D printing must overcome challenges relating to materials, ergonomics and functionality.

Teaching Complex Subjects in an Easy Way

3D printing proves invaluable in visualizing geometric shapes and figures, making abstract concepts more tangible for students studying geometry. 

In mathematics, students can create 3D-printed models of geometric shapes to understand spatial relationships, turning abstract theorems into tangible objects.

Preparation for Future Technologies

Exposure to 3D printing enhances students' familiarity with advanced technologies, contributing to their overall technological literacy. Acquiring skills related to 3D printing prepares students for future careers in industries where additive manufacturing is increasingly prevalent, such as manufacturing, design, and healthcare.

Conclusion

3D printing helps elevate the learning experience for students in various sectors like art, design, science projects, mathematics, etc. Mintcad supports printing your NFTs and we have our homemade Jullienne slicing software. Our slicing software is free to use and hence anyone who wants to print their digital files can use Jullienne to slice their digital file and connect with any 3D printer of your choice. Give your kids an engaging learning experience by leveraging 3D printing in education.
