“From 3D printing programs to robot coding, creative software integration and iterative design programs, schools are investing in makerspaces to drive student success. For example, students in Smithfield, Va., are using 3D printers to create hydraulic claws that help tackle a real-world problem: trash. In Boulder County, Colo., students at Dawson School have access to a makerspace equipped with 3D printers, a laser cutter and computers. The school is undergoing an expansion that includes a 24,500-square-foot, three-floor innovation center slated to open by fall.” (more)
