3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is an immersive technology that not only is a great hobby but a powerful addition to the classroom and household alike.
From bringing history or literature to life or engaging students in STEAM, 3D printing is one of the most enveloping technological tools available presently!
Come join us in learning the stimulating world of 3D printing. In this one-day venture, you will unpack your 3d printer, get practical hands-on training in the use of the software required to get your 3D printer running and the knowledge to integrate it into your classroom.
Each person who attends the workshop will take home a Creality K1C 3D printer along with a set of educational resources. The Creality K1C is one of the most versatile,
reliable, cost-effective, and upgradable machines in its price point. Not to be outclassed on safety, the Creality K1C comes with one of the industry's most reliable power supplies from manufacturer Meanwell.
David Harmon, Greg Theron, and Greg Fischer all have a passion for 3D printing and have supported the Lethbridge Public School Division over the past 4 years, implementing and supporting 3D printing in the classroom. All 3 presenters prove to be active members of the maker community in which they offer support on many levels (locally and internationally).
