"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Children at a U.S. grade school are learning about technology by making inexpensive 3D-printed robots, and the courseware is available for students almost anywhere.

Brian Patton, an elementary and middle school science teacher at Princeton Friends School in Princeton, New Jersey, is using 3D printing to engage children in science, technology and math (STEM). Kids as young as 11-12 are creating robots in Patton’s classes, a recent blog post by 3D printer manufacturer Solidoodle says.
