They need collaboration, interaction, and active learning and it takes a different kind of classroom for this.

If you’re like one of the many educators who can truly see the value of 3D printing in education, but don’t know how you could afford a 3D printer or, more importantly, don’t think you have enough room in your school, there is another way. The 3D Simo 3D printing pen combines making and art and helps facilitate a smooth

If you’re looking for a small, easy-to-use, but high-quality 3D printer, the MakerBot Replicator Mini is for you. Before this experiment, I had very little 3D printing experience. I assumed they were all too complicated and sophisticated, so I was amazed by the simplicity that comes along with the MakerBot Mini.

Teachers are often hoping that students spend their free time innovating in the makerspace and taking advantage of this unique way to learn. There’s only one small problem. There’s nowhere to put it. Makerspaces are super versatile, however, so if you are struggling with finding the right placement in your school (or any place), it shouldn’t bee too much of

At a somewhat surprising rate, teachers are ditching traditional computer labs and rediscovering innovation with new hubs known as 3D printer labs. In these labs, kids get the added STEM experience and the school spends more money. Not so fast. Today, we’ve got five top-of-the-line and, more importantly, affordable 3D printers you should try out this school year.

The MakerBot team helps make inventors out of almost anyone and we’ve brought their brilliance back to our store just in time for the newest school year! Teachers can now get the 3D printer they really want as well as all the filaments their students could possibly need all in one place. We’re helping bring 3D printing into your school

Edison is the perfect teaching tool for STEM activities since it’s so incredibly versatile. A while ago—about a year now at this point—we were introduced to the Edison Robot and did a nice little write-up on it in what you now know as the Eduporium Experiment. Now, it’s revamped, however, and we’ve got some new stuff to cover, so here
