MakerBot Industries

At MakerBot Industries, we want to get the MakerBot into the hands of young people in schools, colleges, and universities. We’re starting by creating the MakerBot Educators Group for folks who are students, teachers, professors, and folks who just think that actually doing things and making things should be an integral part education.

We figure that students can put theory into practice and get practical manufacturing experience with a MakerBot. We want students to be able to make their imagination real by exploring the world of 3D design and fabrication while exploring manufacturing in a tangible, personal way.

We imagine a utopia where students get hands on access to 3D printing in a room full of happily buzzing MakerBots and share their designs on Thingiverse where there are already 1000′s of models that are ready to download and print!

A lot of you are already either teachers, professors, students or are involved in education in some way. So this group is for you all to share your ideas and resources! Join in the conversation!
