[sc:3dclub-intro] Today Jacob stood up in front of a big group of adults and presented our collective work on getting a 3D Printer Club up and running at his elementary school. He showed the video we worked on, and although…
[sc:3dclub-intro] Today we met with the director of the school and our teach sponsor about our 3D Printer Club plan, and the meeting went very well. We brought samples of 3D printed materials, and we talked for about an hour…
[sc:3dclub-intro] The members of the 3D Printer Club are broken up into several teams, each performing an important role. Each team has two key players: the primary lead, and the secondary lead (or apprentice). The primary lead is always at…

[sc:3dclub-intro] Today we tested some basic CAD instruction out on a fifth grader very much like the kind we hope to see in the 3D printer club that we want to start at the local school. We used TinkerCAD. The…
Greetings Maker Faire North Carolina Attendees! It was fun speaking with many of you today. Here is a collection of links to bots and technologies that I spoke about: StickBot (the simple 6-legged walking robot) — the latest version, with schematics…
