21ST CENTURY EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY guide

This month we're sharing a ton a great MakerEd resources -- including a couple Valentine's Day themed classroom project ideas (for vacuum formers and CNC machines) -- as well as a SolidWorks CAD tutorial for those interested in SAE Formula racing.

We also want to share a really cool story from one of our customers -- Slover Library (Norfolk Public Libraries). One of their makerspace users enlisted 3D printing to create an invention would send data from his violin bow to a smartphone. The goal? Ultimately to help musicians understand and change bow pressure and speed. More on that below!
