This 3D printing package brings integrated 3d printing and modeling into the Boys & Girls Club classrooms, introducing middle and high schoolers to this new technology that emphasizes math and science. Not only does 3D printing foster more in depth learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but it shows students how to conceptualize their ideas and bring them to life.
The pilot program was launched at the Boys & Girls Club in Jefferson City, Missouri early this Spring and has generated great enthusiasm among its members and staff.
"This 3D printer is giving our members an opportunity to really develop a skill set that helps them accomplish success in the future and be prepared for the job market our country is facing right now," said Christopher Sutton, Director of Operations at the Boys & Girls Club of the Capital City.

3D printing technology is becoming a significant force in educational settings, providing future inventors and innovators with an ample amount of opportunity for learning. Having this new technology in the classroom helps to get students engaged as well as provide teachers with three dimensional visual aids to use in their classroom to illustrate realistic simulations, including fragile objects such as fossils and artifacts.
