Win an Ultimaker 2+ 3D Printer for Your Classroom | e-NABLE The Future of STEM

TELL US HOW YOU WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE USING A 3D PRINTER

We want you to become a RAKtivist and join the e-NABLE Movement by doing Random Acts of Kindness as often as you can and sharing your ideas of how you can use technology like 3D printing to do kind things for others!

There are so many ways that you can use your ideas and imaginations to help change the world!

We want you to tell us how your classroom or school would use a new Ultimaker 2+ 3D printer to bring your ideas to life and how you plan to help make the world a better place for those around you using 3D printing technology!

Remember – you don’t have to do big things to change the world and you don’t have to wait until you are an adult to start making a difference!

You can start today!

Maybe your classroom wants to join e-NABLE and start working on new designs for 3D printed hands and arms.

Perhaps your classroom would reach out to the local zoo, animal rescue or veterinarian’s office to design and 3D print prosthetics for animals who have been injured.

Students could design and 3D print musical instruments to send to other school children in various parts of the world who have no access to art supplies or books, let alone musical instruments.

Your class could come up with a design for low cost 3D printable homes to help house the homeless and use your 3D printer for testing prototypes!

There is a huge need for low cost and 3D printable medical supplies in countries where they have little to no access to obtaining simple things like stethoscopes or umbilical cord clips for newborn babies. Your class could help to design new medical tools for underserved clinics in areas that have no access to medical supplies and work with Field Ready to distribute them!

Is there a student in your school who is visually impaired who could use some 3D printed models of the United States to help them “see” what the different states look like and learn how they fit together? What could you design with your new 3D printer to help make other educational tools for them and others?

There is no end to how many ways you can practice Random Acts of Kindness by using your 3D printer to help someone else.

Think local. Think Global.

THINK BIG!

We want to challenge you to think of ways you would use a new Ultimaker 2+ 3D printer in your classroom to help “e-NABLE the Future” and then create a short 1-3 minute video to tell us what your school would make with it if you were to win!

You have until February 29th, 2020 at 11:59 PM Pacific time to submit your entries.

Winners will be announced on March 9th, 2020.

• Online Course: Inquiry-Based Making: Integrating Making Throughout the Curriculum – Bit Space

STEAM and innovation are not reserved for the makerspace or fab lab. This course empowers all educators to incorporate making and constructivism into their curriculum in order to reach all students.

This course leads participants through the process of incorporating inquiry-based making into a lesson or unit of study that they already teach. After working through the foundations of inquiry-based making, learners will share their ideas with one another, generating even more insights on incorporating this learning into everything.
