MS5 Wels regularly and creatively uses 3D printers in classes, benefiting students, teachers, and the school as a whole. This innovative technology combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, encourages creativity and problem-solving skills, and enhances everyday school life.
Students read and analyze reports about the “Use and Development of 3D Printing in Everyday Life”. This gives insights into the importance of modern technology.
Using TinkerCAD, students learn the basics of 3D modeling. They design their own geometric models, turn them into digital models, and prepare them for 3D printing.
Students learn about slicing, the process of preparing digital 3D models for printing. They understand how to optimize designs into printable layers.
Students apply their knowledge by creating and printing individual projects. This promotes both creativity and technical thinking.
Using GeoGebra, students create their own physical models and print them, making abstract math concepts tangible and easier to understand.
3D printing is an integral part of MS5’s school development plan and is continuously expanded to enhance learning opportunities.
During this event, students run workshops on 3D printing for younger students. They share their knowledge and inspire others with the possibilities of this technology.
On Art Day, students prepare exciting projects that combine art and technology in innovative ways.
On the open day, the children from the primary level had the opportunity to gain an exciting insight into the world of 3D printing technology at our school. In a short presentation, they learned why we have a 3D printer, what creative and innovative projects we implement with it, and the fascinating possibilities this technology offers. They also discovered which professions increasingly rely on 3D printing and modeling – from architecture and engineering to medicine and art. The children were not only amazed but also had the chance to ask questions and develop their own ideas for future 3D projects.
The students of the 6th grade worked with great enthusiasm on their dream house projects, combining creativity with technical skills. After drawing first sketches and collecting ideas, they used Tinkercad to create detailed 3D models, considering aspects like room layout, functionality, design, and sustainability. They experimented with shapes, structures, and materials, helped each other, and shared feedback, improving both their spatial thinking and teamwork skills. In the end, they proudly presented their unique designs, ranging from eco-friendly houses to luxurious villas and imaginative buildings, showing how technical knowledge and creative ideas can come together.
