3D Printer Club for Public Schools

This is the “home” page for a series of posts describing our effort to start and manage a 3D printer club at a local elementary school, with the ultimate goal of replicating the program at schools everywhere. We’ll be posting as many details as possible, including lesson plans and supporting materials.

The RepRap Project is the perfect vehicle for bringing a project-based STEM curriculum into the classroom. If you’re interested in getting this remarkable technology into schools in a unique and creative way that encompasses multiple disciplines (not just STEM!), please follow this project and plan to one of your own. To discuss your ideas with a group of like-minded community members, join our Google group.
