3D Printing Panel for Faculty TOMORROW
All faculty and staff are invited to attend a special faculty panel this Thursday.
How can 3D printing assist student learning in the classroom and in research? Can you use it to motivate ideas or help students make the transition from concrete to the abstract? Are you interested in finding out what 3D printing is and what sort of support there is on campus?
Please come hear your colleagues' stories of implementing 3D printing in their teaching. Brainstorm about how you can bring 3D printing into your classroom. Experience designing an item to be 3D printed using TinkerCAD. See the 3D printers in action.
You are welcome to arrive and leave at anytime during the session, but the panel presentation will occur during the first half-hour, and hands-on exploration and brainstorming for your classrooms will occur afterwards.
