ENGINEERING, DESIGN & FABRICATION guide

Since our STEM Bootcamp for Educators kicks off tomorrow, we wanted to dedicate November's issue to, well, all things STEM.

 

Read on for STEM classroom project ideas, video tutorials, free curriculum downloads and more.

 

I'm also especially excited to share with you Amtek's new STEM Lab, Makerspace and Machine Shop Fundamentals Guidebook. It's essentially a buyer's guide that looks at the pros and cons of different types of:

  • 3D printers
  • CNC machines
  • Laser cutters
  • Design software

You can download the guidebook at the link above. Still have questions? Reach out. I'm always happy to hear from you.
