Makers Empire 3D – world’s easiest to use 3D software

Start designing in 3D in minutes – no CAD experience necessary! Makers Empire 3D works on all devices and can be used by students as young as 4 years old.

“Makers Empire is friendly towards all ability groups and helps engage students who are less motivated to be working in the classroom. It gives students the opportunity to be creative and learn by trial and error in a digital format… I have many teacher friends and have actually shown them the program and they are all very impressed.”

Yankallila Area School, AUSTRALIA

Our Evidence-Based Learning Approach

Makers Empire’s Learning by Design course was the subject of a recent Macquarie University research study on makerspaces in primary school settings.

The collaborative research project focused on the impact of maker pedagogies in K-2 settings through the provision of Makers Empire’s Learning by Design course, a blended teacher professional development program and the use of high-quality 3D modelling and printing tools.

Learning by Design is endorsed by the NSW Education Standards Authority, contributing 20 hours of NESA Registered PD from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

The research study report revealed the compelling benefits of this type of learning for primary educators and showed that makerspaces can be highly effective at developing children’s creativity, critical thinking, design thinking and digital skills.

Students were highly engaged with the 3D technology, and the idea of solving genuine design challenges – it helped boost their confidence and resilience when dealing with setbacks, particularly for those less capable students.

Teachers became more comfortable with technology and more collaborative and flexible in their teaching. Furthermore, all of the participating teachers expressed a desire to integrate 3D design-based makerspaces into their future classes.
