About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with an expert in the field of 3D printing and education. Can you please introduce yourself? GUEST: Hello, I'm Alex, a teacher with a passion for incorporating technology into my classroom. I've been working with 3D printing for over five years and love seeing students engage with this innovative tool. HOST: That's fantastic! Now, let's dive into your new course, "Certified Specialist Programme in 3D Printed Educational Activities." Can you tell us what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely! I noticed a gap in professional development for educators looking to integrate 3D printing into their curriculum. This course fills that gap by providing practical skills in CAD software, additive manufacturing techniques, and curriculum integration. HOST: I see. And how does this course help educators and designers revolutionize learning? GUEST: By teaching them to design and 3D print engaging educational resources, educators can create hands-on activities that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Plus, students love the tangible results of their work! HOST: That's so true. Now, what current industry trends do you think are relevant to this course? GUEST: There's growing interest in STEM education, and 3D printing is a powerful tool for integrating science, technology, engineering, and math concepts. Additionally, the accessibility and affordability of 3D printers are making them more common in classrooms. HOST: Absolutely, it's an exciting time for 3D printing in education. But there must be challenges in implementing this technology. Can you share some of those? GUEST: Certainly. Time and resources are always a concern, and there can be a learning curve for both educators and students. However, with proper training and support, these challenges can be overcome. HOST: Great insights. Lastly, where do you see the future of 3D printing in education? GUEST: I believe 3D printing will become a standard tool in classrooms across all subjects. As more educators become skilled in this area, we'll see an increase in innovative teaching methods and student engagement. HOST: Thank you, Alex, for sharing your expertise and insights on the Certified Specialist Programme in 3D Printed Educational Activities. It's been a pleasure having you on the show! GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm excited to see more educators and designers embracing 3D printing in their teaching and learning environments.
