Pop-Up Maker Labs & 3D Printing for Schools
Curious about maker labs but not ready to commit? My 3D Maker Lab on Wheels brings the excitement of hands-on STEM innovation directly to your school for an unforgettable project week! This is a perfect opportunity to immerse your students and teachers in the world of maker labs without the need for a long-term investment.
What’s Included?
-
I work directly with your students and teachers, facilitating exciting, real-world challenges that spark curiosity and creativity.
-
As a veteran STEM educator with over 10 years of experience, a master’s in education, and specialized training in the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, I ensure that every hands-on activity is both engaging and educational. Students will explore cutting-edge STEM concepts through practical applications as they:
Use 3D printers, design software, and supporting tools to tackle problem-solving challenges.
Transform their ideas into physical objects, mastering the design-to-prototype process.
Develop critical thinking, creativity, and technical skills that prepare them for future academic and professional opportunities.
-
Each project week is customized to align with your school’s curriculum goals, student skill levels, and desired outcomes. Whether students are prototyping products, designing 3D models, or exploring advanced engineering concepts, the activities are designed for maximum engagement and learning. My experience with IB and STEM curricula ensures that these activities complement your educational standards.
-
Teachers are encouraged to participate alongside students, gaining hands-on experience with 3D printers, design software, and maker projects. I provide guidance and support to help teachers build their confidence in leading technology-based lessons, empowering them to integrate maker lab techniques into their classrooms long after the project week ends.
