Hello network, I have been very busy working on new #stemlearning and #steamlearning ideas while on summer break. I am basing my research on #disney and other creative companies, trying to apply their methods of problem-solving and thinking into the world of #specialeducation, and wanted to brainstorm ideas with some of you. Right now, I have a few topics applied for teaching, game design, leadership, and instructional design, but I wanted to branch into coding, 3D printing, robotics, and CNC machinery for a maker space-type area. I hope you all are doing well, and I welcome any support you can offer. 🤓📚💡#MakerSpace #EducationInnovation #FutureReady

HSA Houston Momentum robotics students recently participated in an exciting kick-off event at San Jacinto College! They also took part in a series of workshops. These workshops provided valuable resources and strategies to help our students prepare for upcoming competitions. Highlights: -Programming Workshop: Students learned new techniques for programming their robots. -Building Workshop: They worked on the structural design of robots, enhancing their building skills. -3D Printing Workshop: Students had the opportunity to design and create their own robot parts using 3D printing techniques. -Developing strategies for upcoming competitions. Collaborating with advanced teams and sharing experiences

Highly recommend TA Education for information and guidance if you are looking to explore 1:1 devices with your school.

What happens when young innovators take on Mars-inspired challenges? At TüftelCamp 2024 in Sarnen, Switzerland, 19 creative minds did just that – here’s how. These young technology enthusiasts worked with experts from Leister and Maxon in mid-October to turn their ideas into practical solutions. The challenge was to design and build robotic systems capable of taking on Mars-inspired missions – an opportunity that pushed their creativity and technical skills. Over the course of the week, participants gained hands-on experience in 3D printing, laser cutting, and programming microcontrollers, learning how to apply technology to real-world scenarios. A visit to Leister and Maxon’s production sites provided additional insight into high-tech manufacturing and the importance of innovation in today’s industries. Since 2016, the Leister Foundation has supported initiatives like TüftelCamp, helping young people explore technical fields through tüftelPark Pilatus and other educational programs. By offering financial and mentoring resources, the Foundation fosters innovation and encourages future talent in STEM disciplines.

Perhaps the most satisfying stories we hear from our #makerspace clients are those where students keep going after a project is complete, or even during their summer vacations. It may not be quantifiable, but it is certainly proof of a successful makerspace program! Some of the ones we've heard about: 🙌 Parents of high school students taking advantage of the makerspace after hours. Let's face it, most of us didn't grow up with CNC machines and 3D printers at our fingertips. A makerspace program that is available to friends and family of the students is AWESOME. 🎸 A high school girl who built an electric guitar from scratch. The project was much bigger than the minimum requirements, so the school accommodated her with extra makerspace time after hours. 📝 Sometimes a high school STEM class has a prerequisite course in CAD or design. We've heard of students taking these prerequisite courses during their summer holidays or on their own time. ❤️ And we've heard of collaborations where students 3D printed accessibility tools for disabled members of the community. Some of these required more time than anticipated, which the students willingly gave after school. Isn't that what success looks like?! When your students are going above and beyond because they're attracted into it, you know you're doing something right!! *** 💖 Love it?

3D printing ignites creativity, curiosity, and innovation in children, empowering them to evolve into future designers, engineers, and creators! This technology opens up a world of possibilities for young minds, allowing them to bring their ideas to life in a tangible way. By experimenting with different designs and materials, kids can learn valuable problem-solving skills and gain hands-on experience in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Moreover, 3D printing enables children to explore complex concepts in a fun and engaging manner. For example, they can create models of historical landmarks, scientific structures, or even intricate puzzles. This hands-on approach not only sparks their imagination but also enhances their spatial reasoning and critical thinking abilities. By providing a practical application for theoretical knowledge, students are more likely to retain information and develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter. This innovative tool has the potential to revolutionize the way children learn and interact with technology, preparing them for the challenges of the future workforce. In conclusion, 3D printing is not just a tool for creating physical objects; it is a gateway to a world of possibilities for young learners. By embracing this technology, we can inspire the next generation of innovators and problem solvers, equipping them with the skills they need to shape the future. 🎨🏗️ #3DPrintingSkills #FutureMakers
