Show Notes
3D Printing with kids can be intimidating, especially if you don't have any outside experience to teach them. I felt the same way, and I almost wanted to give up on 3D printing. In fact, 3D printing is a STEM lesson I enjoy teaching and continue to learn about! In this episode, I'll be answering these common questions I get from teachers about 3D printing.
- What printer should I get?
- How do kids design 3D prints?
- What 3D printing lessons should I teach for each grade?
