I learned about the process of 3D printing, which was super cool. It's not as complex as I thought it was. I had a one on one tutorial because I was just a walk in. I spent about an hour just hanging out and talking with the staff, learning about how they do things. It was so fun! I want to go back with my brother and show him all the stuff he can do! And it's free! What! So cool. The staff showed me their programs and their machines and asked if i wanted to make something, so I made a little keychain for Mother's Day coming up. They designed it on their computer for me, which only took a few minutes and then it took twelve minutes to print! The staff lady shared a lot of really great resources I can use for kids. My favorite was sketchfab which is a website of a bunch of 3D models that have been printed with annotations on them for mini lessons or fun facts! It's organized by topic too. I thought this would be a really cool thing to do with my kids one day. The staff even told me that they let elementary classes come in and look at the machines. They can even design their own creations on different websites she gave me and come pick them up! How fun!
