Across the U.S., schools are incorporating 3D printing into the curriculum, but some are taking it a step further by adding global collaboration to the mix. At PS 163 in New York City this fall, students in 3rd-5th grade were paired one-on-one with students in Yancheng, China to learn CAD and 3D printing as part of Global Inventors – a STEAM (STEM + arts) course offered by Level Up Village (LUV).
Level Up Village Co-Founder Neesha Rahim was one of several presenters at the e-NABLE Educators’ Exchange (e3STEAM) kickoff on August 26th. Open to the public, the virtual Town Hall was broadcast via Google Hangouts and brought together educators and 3D printing enthusiasts to celebrate the 3D printed prosthetic movement and share e-NABLE inspired ideas, experiences, curricula and best practices. Rahim discussed LUV’s pioneering global STEAM programming, including its Global Inventors/3D printing course, which has created a globally distributed network of nearly 30 3D printers and trained teachers at U.S. schools and Global Partner organizations in developing countries.
