New 3D Classroom Package Packs a Punch

The SKETCH Classroom is designed to enable both teachers and students to problem-solve using 3D printing.  Classroom management is made seamless with MakerBot Cloud because it allows you to manage students’ projects and your classroom print queue from any browser. MakerBot Cloud is integrated with TinkerCad, Autodesk Fusion 360, and Onshape.

You can also take advantage of the more than 600 lesson plans — across various grade levels and subjects– currently available through Thingiverse Education.
