A company called NuVo Studio is trying to bring 3D printing into the classroom. They feel that the current education system puts too much importance on lectures, and doesn't involve children in actual hand-on learning. They are trying to change this with an initiative to bring 3D printing into classrooms. NuVo is an entirely new school program which allows students to leave these hand-off lecture hall style class rooms to attend classes where students get to use 3D printers for a variety of tasks. The programs last between 2-9 months and are for middle school and high school students. More details can be found at the article here: http://3dprint.com/4753/nuvu-studio-engineers-students/

What do you guys think? Is NuVo and programs like it the future of education? What benefits and downfalls do such programs have on a child's education?
