MakerBot Offers 3D Printing Projects at Makeathon in Washington, D.C.

This summer MakerBot is continuing their ongoing effort to encourage STEAM education and help educators gain access to necessary educational resources by hosting a series of STEAM Makeathons all over the country. Last week in honor of the upcoming National Week of Making they held their last Makeathon of the year in Washington, D.C. they brought together groups of educators to collaborate on 3D printing projects and STEAM lesson plans. The educators were split into groups and were instructed to select activities, projects or lessons that they already teach to their classes and find ways to make them better using 3D printers. The groups would be competing for prizes, including brand new MakerBot Replicator 5th Gen 3D Printers.
