Desktop 3D printing provider, XYZprinting has unveiled a new 3D printing curricula for schools at the International Society for Technology in Education show in San Antonio, Texas.
The STEAM curricula covers both 3D printing hardware and software, and meets the measures of K-12 Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). NGSS outline exactly what students should know and be capable of doing by the end of an education programme.
A recent participant in GE’s Additive Education Program, XYZprinting has sought to expand its service to young STEAM students. The company is now also giving schools the opportunity to participate in their ambassador program. Here, teachers and educators can share their 3D printing knowledge and provide details of case studies which saw the successful implementation of 3D technology.
“We are incredibly proud to be giving educators the opportunity to develop their students’ potential with our newly developed NGSS compliant curricula,” said Simon Shen, CEO of XYZprinting. “We strongly believe in nurturing the talent of the nation’s future makers, engineers, and designers, and this is a great step in helping students realise their potential in this field.”

Lance Schreiber, a teacher of Innovation & Engineering at Oasis Charter High School in Florida, added: “We are excited to be given this opportunity, as 3D printing continues to develop students and proves an importance to education. This program and curricula will help our students enormously with grasping difficult visual concepts, and will also bolster an interest in their learning. XYZprinting is helping our schools catch up to current innovations in tech and learning, and we can’t wait to bring this technology to the classroom.”
XYZprinting has been showcasing much of its new curricula at ISTE 2017, which kicked off on June 25th and runs until June 28th. The company will make further announcements of additional courses later this year, information of which will feature on its brand new education pages on its website.
