Daniel said he is excited to explore the printer alongside his students.
“I stress to my students a lot that engineering, especially the computer science aspect, is a growing market,” he said. “The earlier that the kids can be exposed to STEM-related topics and resources – the better prepared they are for their futures.”
All grade levels, with a focus on sixth, will be able to interact with the printer. Students will learn how to create 3D-printed designs, what career opportunities and practical uses exist for 3D printing, and have the opportunity to make an item and take it home.
The printer was made possible with help from an Ohio STEM Learning Network grant, in which Horace Mann is one of two in Clark County to receive.
