Recently I started a project in the classroom where my students did an art project where they made robots with water color paints. Then we 3D printed a battery holder/switch so we could put a circuit on top of the robot. You can read more about it on my blog at clarkbarnett.com. I would love to hear what anyone else is doing in their classrooms.

Great blog! Taking the painted robots as a base and then customize them with 3D printed parts is a neat idea to get kids interested, thanks for sharing your experience @Clark_Barnett

Really nice idea, Clark! It would be great to see some of these prints/ projects these kids are making. Thanks for sharing this!

Hey @Clark_Barnett I’d love to hear more about what you’re doing, it sounds awesome!

@3DSamui is also up for some real great stuff for the students. He’s teaching students to make their own printers!
I find this really inspiring.

That is incredible! I will check out @3DPrintAcademy. Maybe he will inspire some of my students too.

I can’t figure out how to edit my original post, so here are some images. The batteries just arrived today. I’ll be finishing with my class this week. I’ll post more pics then.

Hey, thanks for mentioning me. If you look for more details about 3D Printing Academy, click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3dpahk/

Also, I’m developing an ultra low cost 3D printing platform for educational purposes: https://www.facebook.com/groups/infinity3d/

Thank you all, Cheers, Marc

Awesome idea! If your students are into minecraft - http://www.printcraft.org/ is a cool resource to get some of their stuff thats been created printed - could be a potentially cool learning experience.

Sorry Clark, indeed, the post is not editable, but it’s something that we’ll be possible soon. Thanks for sharing the photos, I’ll add them to the post!

Hi Clark!

Yesterday I came across a platform called Ideas Worth Making that collects ideas and some models for educational purposes. Maybe you can get some inspiration or even share your story with those teachers! https://ideasworthmaking.com/

What a great find! Thank you for sharing that.

I was just talking to a group about that. They are about to do a report on the California Missions. Many of them are building a mission in Minecraft. I told them to export the files so we can print them. I’ll pass this site along to them.

Hi,

I am doing an important project about the design an educational 3D printer for student.

Could you help me to do the questionnaire?

• Questionnaire: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/562XJHP

It just has 9 questions that will take you few minutes. In addition, can you let your 3~4 students to fill in the questionnaire, too? Because I need different users’ responses.

Your feedback is very important.

Thank you for participating in my survey.
