From components for robots to mouthpieces for flutes, his students bring a range of personal interests to the design and printing process.Īlthough students often work on individual projects, Miller encourages them to solve problems together as a team.
Depending on the class, students use the tools to create anything from a light saber to a miniature model of a Wright brothers’ airplane. Miller uses a 3D40 3D Printer with Chromebooks in his elementary and high school classes. “It will definitely make students more future ready.” Medical, dental, the food industry-they’re all using 3D printers,” he says. “Students are being exposed to technology that’s now used in a lot of fields. Michael Miller is a K-5 technology teacher and high-school computer science teacher for Otsego Public Schools in Otsego, MI. The 3D40 3D Printer supports design tools such as Tinkercad and BlocksCAD, that help students create three-dimensional versions of just about anything they can dream up. About the size of a microwave oven, a 3D printer “prints” solid objects, layer by layer. The Dremel 3D40 3D Printer was developed by Bosch, a company that has made reliable tools for builders and hobbyists for over 80 years. Let’s take a deeper look at the tools in the STEM bundle. These tools are available at a special discounted price and may be purchased alongside Chromebooks or independently from U.S. To help school districts provide more STEM opportunities to students, we’re now offering a bundle of STEM tools on Chromebooks, designed to to help students become inventors and makers. Department of Education noted in a statement in January, 2017.
“If we want a nation where our future leaders, neighbors and workers have the ability to understand and solve some of the complex challenges of today and tomorrow, building students’ skills, content knowledge and fluency in STEM fields is essential,” the Office of Innovation & Improvement, U.S. They’re also developing skills like problem solving and collaboration that they’ll need in higher education and, eventually, in their careers, while being exposed to real-world opportunities to be makers. Students everywhere are exploring important concepts in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), with a level of sophistication that’s rising every year.
