3D printing

Art

• The child learned about spatial awareness and design when creating 3D models and objects.
• They learned about composition and form when designing their 3D prints.

Science

• The child learned about materials and their properties, such as different types of filaments used in 3D printing.
• They learned about the engineering design process through creating and testing their 3D models.

Encourage the child to explore the connections between 3D printing and design in various other subjects, such as using mathematical concepts for precise measurements and exploring the science behind the different materials used in 3D printing.
