MLS STEM CLUB Update
We are offering a STEM Club activity at MLS!
This will be for students in
grades 3-7.
Tuesdays, February 27th and March 5,12
from 3:30-4:30.
We had a good kickoff for the STEM club this past Tuesday. We had a brief overview of the 3D printing process, talking about modeling what you want to print using CAD software, preparing your model to be printed on a specific 3D printer, and then actually printing the part.
"Homework" for the next session!
Parents, it is recommend that if anyone is interested in starting to learn these processes they get a CAD software at home. There are several good options that are free, but will require the student to create an account. These are some suggestions:
Tinkercad, Onshape, and Fusion360 for Personal Use.
The software that we will be using for preparing the CAD models for printing is free but needs to be installed on a computer (it does not run in a browser):
Ultimaker Cura.
We look forward to learning more about this process at our next meeting, February 27th.
