Joe Cipfl
Join us for an informative session on the basics of 3D printing. We will explore the fundamentals of 3D printing, the best printers for education, software needed for successful printing and curriculum integration essentials. 3D printing has SO many real-world applications and it's easily integrated across the curriculum. Come see how!

Audience:	Curriculum/district specialists, Teachers, Technology coordinators/facilitators

Topic:	Maker activities & programs
Grade level:	PK-12
Subject area:	Career and technical education, STEM/STEAM
ISTE Standards:	For Students: Innovative Designer Students select and use digital tools to plan and manage a design process that considers design constraints and calculated risks. Students develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design process. Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.
