  • Creating a 3D Printing Program at Foxcroft

    From Director of STEAM Education and STEM Department Chair Katie Hergenreder

    I was thrilled to be awarded a Kenan Grant to develop a 3D Printing program at Foxcroft. There is something truly special about 3D Printing, where students can conceptualize their designs and bring them to life using technology. The excitement of students pulling their prints off the print bed is contagious, particularly when they share their creations with others. 我想创建一个以服务学习为基础的课程，可以利用这种热情，并将其应用于更广泛的社区服务.
