on an adventure, and then asks you to join a cause. \u00a0You can judge for yourself by clicking the video below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SDYFMgrjeLg\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>After the video, Cydni blew through a hurricane of 3D printing information. \u00a0 She discussed the financial implications of the technology, the adoption curve, and a host of other aspects of the industry as a whole. \u00a0However, the two most enlightening things she highlighted were very eye opening. \u00a0First, she asked the audience of 3D printing enthusiasts how many owned or used a 3D printer on a daily basis. \u00a0I was shocked when only 5-10% of the attendees raised their hands. \u00a0That means of the more than 3500 people who attended the conference from over 20 countries, only about 250 of them had or used a 3D printer on a regular basis! \u00a0This fact tells me that 3D printing is still very much in its infancy, and more than ever, I am positive that the mission of WRI3D.com to put 3D printers in classrooms is critical to brining this technology intelligently to our culture. \u00a0The second point that really stuck with me was that the number one issue in the industry as a whole is the lack of digital content. \u00a0In the 3D printing in education space we are very aware of this deficit, but it surprised me that industry as a whole is limited at the moment by the same issues that we at WRI3D.com have identified. \u00a0One of the highlights of the keynote was when Brian Setrakian pulled forth from a box the Giant, chain-bound hand of Mr. Wink (from HellBoy fame). \u00a0The hand was the genuine working prop from the film complete with servo driven fingers and motor-retractable hand. \u00a0The audience loved it. \u00a0No wonder the hall was standing room only during the keynote.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2057\"

was on a panel discussion in the morning that addressed how to attract and write grants for your 3D printer classroom initiative. \u00a0She shared the stage with Joe Scott who works with Afinia (a maker of consumer 3D printers) and manages their marketing and spends a fair amount of time in community outreach. \u00a0Rather than recap here what they discussed, you can <a title=\"Grant Writing

teaches in the Bay area, and Clark Barnett who teaches in the Conejo Valley Unified School District here in southern California. \u00a0The panel discussion was moderated by John Westrum from Afinia. \u00a0The questions ranged from &#8220;How do teachers address the Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards with 3D printing in the classroom?&#8221; to &#8220;What are some of the practical challenges of introducing 3D printers into a classroom?&#8221; \u00a0Each panelist brought their own unique experience and perspective to the panel for a very lively discussion.<\/p>\n<p><a

particle accelerator to enhance student understanding of both the scientific process as well as the scale of really small things. \u00a0Her students begin by placing common objects into the beam path and getting nano-scale (one billionth the size of you and me) images of things like egg shells, candy surfaces (Mentos(R) in particular), and other fun objects. \u00a0These nanoscopic images (nanoscopic is 1000 times smaller than microscopic) of surfaces are then converted to 3D files and Christine prints large scale versions on a 3D printer in her classroom! \u00a0Talk about relevant science!<\/p>\n<p>Clark Barnett has been using 3D printers in his classroom to create ecosystems. \u00a0His students begin by considering the ecosystem of their classroom with books, food left in corners from student snacks, and even the students themselves. \u00a0Then they invent new bugs with appropriate insect morphology. \u00a0Their classroom has now discovered several new species which they have on display in cases like these:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2076\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2076\" style=\"width: 279px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img
