Introducing the Feeding Young Minds™ 3D printing education program

WATERLOO, Ontario - Sept. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Science.Technology.Engineering.Art.Math. (S.T.E.A.M.) focused education is a critical building block for success, and as our world becomes more and more technology-driven, it becomes even more necessary to provide our students with opportunities to interact with cutting-edge technology.

"We believe we have a role to play in making 3D printing accessible for everyone. Our goal is to engage, educate, and equip as many teachers and educators as possible to ensure all young people have an opportunity to use 3D printing technology. We owe it to the bright young minds of tomorrow to give them leading edge opportunities today." - Tim Scott, CEO

We believe 3D printing is a large component of our technology-linked future, so we created our Feeding Young Minds™ education program – a way for teachers and educators to provide students with access to 3D printers so they can explore 3D printing technology in the classroom or learning center in a practical way.

Our program breaks down technology barriers and helps students embrace 3D printing technology – which we hope will build their confidence and encourage them to pursue S.T.E.A.M. focused careers.

Our Feeding Young Minds™ education program is specifically designed to assist institutions and learning centers to build on this technology trend. We do this by providing an integrated program offering for two distinct learning groups: educational institutions and learning centers.

• An Educational Institution is any primary, secondary or post-secondary institution that envisions a holistic approach to critical thinking and 3-dimensional understanding.
• A Learning Center is any organization whose focus is on the development of young minds such as libraries, tutoring centers, educational support centers, and training centers.

The program

We have developed a set of three training sessions specifically for equipping teachers and enabling them to introduce the technology to their students. Each session comes with practical labs and teaching notes for the teacher to take into the classroom. We also provide teachers with on-site technical setup and online educational support for their students.

The benefits

Each teacher or educator will walk away with not only the knowledge they need to set their students up for success, but a complete 3D printing package that includes a state-of-the-art 3D printer.
