8th Grade Ohio Teaccher Launches a 3D Printing Course

[Brian_Krassenstein]

One very talented teacher in Chesterland, OH has designed a unique and comprehensive course regarding 3D design, 3D printing, and discussion of some of the very serious topics surrounding it for his eighth grade classes. The class, a ‘work in progress,’ lasts for one quarter, and during it they have projects involving creating and sustaining a community in space, as well as working as town planners creating a fictional community. They also when time permits have time to work on 3D printing a project that involves creating something that solves a problem, like their very real example of a product that houses earbuds to keep them from getting perpetually lost.

I am so excited about this piece of news, personally! My fiance graduated from West G and had this teacher, Mr P, in the 6th grade. By all accounts (well, my fiance and his siblings), Mr P is a fantastic teacher. Sounds like the right educator to be leading the charge in bringing 3D printing education to Chesterland. 3D printing in small-ish Ohio schools is such great news for STEM education.
