The project’s overall objective is to enable the application of 3D design and printing in STEM education in secondary schools.
The specific objectives are to:
- Provide teachers and students with learning/teaching resources on 3D design and printing, and on the application of the Python programming language in 3D design and creative explorations of 3D models
- Equip teachers with methodological and didactic guidance for the design and delivery of STEM education in the area of 3D technology.
3D technology is becoming cheaper and increasingly affordable, as well as easily adapted to a greater variety of uses. The MAKER SCHOOLS project will provide schools and their teachers with the tools, confidence and support to do the best with this technology in both curricular and extracurricular activities once it arrives in their school.
