21ST CENTURY EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY guide

This month we've got all the details you need on the newest 3D printer just announced from Stratasys. We're also highlighting a customer of ours who is working tirelessly to help out during the COVID-19 crisis.

 

And we're continuing on with several posts in our Maker Education series. We've previously discussed how to budget your makerspace and how to manage your makerspace. This month we're talking on all things equipment (3D scanners, laser cutters, printer-cutters, CNC machines). Read on for more.

 

I recognize we're all adjusting to this new era of distance learning. Don't forget we have a bunch of resources for you here. Let us know if there's anything else you need.
