5th and 6th grade students recently had the great opportunity of visiting the “Geekbus” and learning about 3D printing. The “Geekbus” is a mobile makerspace committed to educating K-12 students about science, technology, engineering, and math. Inside the “Geekbus” are LCD screens, a 3D printer, and other high tech gadgets and computers.
The “Geekbus” staff taught the 5th and 6th graders all about computer-aided design software and how to use it to create prototype products. The student’s creations will be printed on 3D printers and then donated to local charities. The kids had a lot of fun planning and creating their products.
