Webinar: Introduction to 3D Printing in the Classroom
In this webinar, iDESIGN explores how educators can get started with 3D printing in the classroom, your school or your makerspace even without knowing design software. We take a look at some 3D printing products, the health and safety of 3D printers, the benefits of this STEM technology for students and how to implement 3D printing into your lessons whether you're teaching history, graphic design, geography or chemistry, for example.
