Like most technologies, 3D printing has gotten to the point where students are learning about it at a younger age and it’s becoming an engrained part of their lives. From hands-on experience with desktop 3D printers at their schools to introductory lessons with 3D modeling software, students are quickly becoming a part of the maker movement. We are committed to helping more students learn through our Education program, and now we’re excited to partner with companies who truly encourage learning at a young age.
Recently, we introduced a contest that encourages students to explore their creativity through 3D printing. In partnership with iD Tech and Dremel we are inviting students to model their own Minecraft-inspired design. Using Autodesk software, students K-12 (in the US only) can create products inspired by the beloved game. Three winners will be chosen, and each will receive prizes to continue their education of technology and 3D printing.
We’re thrilled to be working alongside companies like iD Tech and Dremel who are focused on bringing tech to students and encouraging those of all ages to pursue STEM-related fields. As younger generations learn more about 3D printing we’ll see the industry move forward in ways like never before.
