The Media Center received a generous grant from the WJCC Schools Foundation to purchase two Polar 3D printers. Students have created objects using a simple CAD program or by finding and printing pre-existing templates. Several art students have created signature stamps to use on their ceramics projects. Math teachers have been creating objects that help them explain geometry and calculus concepts to students.
Media Specialists Monica Schauffler and Amy Wallisch will be holding workshops to teach interested students how to create and print 3D projects. From moving figures and key chains to replacement parts for a car, Lafayette’s students are learning to create using the 3D printer.
