Summary

This is a new type of lesson page! Instead of serving as a place to find a singular lesson about 3D printing, this is a page that will serve as a clearing house of background knowledge around using this tech in a classroom setting. This page should be leveraged by lesson creators as a place to link for up to date information on the how to 3D print, allowing traditional lesson plans posted on SCOPES-df to focus on classroom content, not technical knowledge. Feel free to link your lesson to this page! Lastly, this is a “home base” for the SCOPES-df community to visit periodically to quickly find links to the latest in 3D printing.
