“We had this huge printer but no one was using it because all the (3D design) programs were for high school students… plus, no one was trained in it – no one knew what to do… I was looking at (potential 3D software for the school) from a first-grade perspective. I asked myself: could I do this? With the other (3D design) programs I thought, no. And I’d never want to do it again… One of the great things about you guys is the PD (professional development) and the lessons – that sold a lot of people in our district, especially the alignment with NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards). That’s one of the newest things in our district so having lesson plans already aligned to it makes things easier… my principal asked me to do a PD (professional development) on it because the kids were talking about it to their teachers. So I led a session on it… I also had a few district people to come out and see what I was doing with 3D printing.”
