2nd MakerBot Open Teacher Workshop – Register Today!


Are you a teacher or educator interested in bringing a MakerBot into the classroom? Did you miss last month’s introductory workshop? During this 4 hour session you will be introduced to 3-D printing with the MakerBot Thing-o-Matic. We’ll walk you step-by-step through the process of creating a 3-D computer model and preparing it for printing with the MakerBot.

In addition, you will be shown a set of lesson plans that you can use with your students over the course of a semester. No prior knowledge of 3-D modelling or 3-D printing is required. Please bring a laptop computer to the workshop.
