- Inspire your whole community; not just the one teacher with a travel grant
- Save time and money.
For Both Teachers and Students
- We offer the possibility to have both student and faculty groups building 3d printers alongside in the same workshop!
- ‘Learning together’ as a way of fostering a communal ‘making mindset’ is proving especially effective for schools starting making and tinkering programs anew.
