We've been a little quiet recently... and that's because we're working on something big! PrintLab's student learning portal is under development to enhance the experience and workflow for both teachers and students. More info coming soon #tinkercad #fusion360 #stem #3dprinting

How will we grow crops on Mars? First step for Y5 Extreme Engineers @WimbledonHigh @Juniors_WHS is to see if we can grow a crop in the winter here on planet Earth... A little way to go yet! Thank you to @NFUEducation for your advice! @Biology_WHS

Epic @EarleBaum #A11y game night! Tested #Tactile #Risk game board that was a student design lead by @ProjMakerspace inspired by @buildbetterbook. #Braille #LargePrint labels #QR cards linked to audio files and #3Dprinted pieces. Used @3Doodler for last minute additions. So Fun!

We're working on a project where students create 3D printed tactile tangram puzzles for people with visual impairments. Big thanks to @neal_at for helping us out with some advice! The project will be available next week to subscribers of #printlabclassroom @mrjonesteaches

Startups and entrepreneurs can enjoy maximum flexibility and complexity when using 3D printing to design and manufacture products. We discuss this and more in our infographic blog on 3D printing, entrepreneurship and #STEM #education! - bit.ly/2Ck1Lle

Excited to see that @weareprintlab have been inspired by these storage containers we created with @ArupGroup using recycled milk containers. In Project Upcycle, students will look for ways to transform waste materials into useful products, combining them with 3D printed forms.

It was so exciting, wasn’t it?! Wonderful to stand there in the beginning of the space we’ve spent so much time imagining!

We're working on a lesson plan inspired by @goldfingerHQ's collaboration with @ArupGroup, where students upcycle products at their school by combining waste materials with 3D printed forms. Coming soon to #printlabclassroom

In our next lesson, students will design an intervention that encourages the reuse of a product before it gets thrown away or recycled at their school. They'll move on to write proposals to manufacturers to suggest how they could improve their products to suit a #circulareconomy!
