Three Dimensions of WOW

5/27/2014

OK, so a super short post, just because I want to document the journey that comes along with this.  I've been asked by Airwolf3D to create lesson plans for a STEM curriculum and I couldn't be happier to work with a company who works so closely with educators to create a product worth our time and money.  To help with that, I'm test driving one of their Airwolf3D HD machines.

I'm still figuring out the printer itself and test driving its capabilities (and my competency with the programming), but this is a whole new world that I'm excited to be a part of.  As a math teacher, I had a hard time making some math real.  As a STEM teacher, it was a lot of theoretical and paper modeling.  With a 3D printer, kids can create their own realia and publish their own artifacts to test out.  For now, it's time to retreat to the man cave to tinker.
Finally, if you have ideas for lessons that lend themselves to a 3-Dimensional product, let me know and I'll do my best to create something that can be printed out and give you credit.  If it's cool enough, small enough to ship for cheap, and isn't an embarrassment of my inability to think in three dimensions, I'll even send you the finished product.

Happy 3D Fishing!

    Math nerds tend to have a reputation for being math nerds.  I'm here to continue that trend.
