So in this video,

we're going to chat with Josh Ajima who's a teacher in Northern Virginia and

his job is to support other teachers with their technology needs.

And one of the technologies that he decided to experiment with a few years

back was a 3D printer.

So now his job is to help other teachers figure out ways to create solutions for

their classes, and one of the tools at his disposal is a 3D printer.

And he has a fascinating set of examples where he has helped educators

bring 3D printing into the curriculum.

And is also very active on the web, so his web site has some nice resources as well.

So join us as we learn about the potential for

3D printing in education with real-life examples.

>> My name is Josh Ajima, and

I'm an instructional technology coach at a public high school in Virginia.

I work at a normal high school, but also I provide support for

a magnet science academy where students from throughout my county come in

to do science and mathematics research.

I also do a stump camp over the summer for fourth to eighth grade and that's really

where my introduction to 3D printing in the classroom and for instructions

started was 3D printing models as part of that summer stone camp initiative.

So I do things like write for reviews like Make magazine,

I print lots of models and design lots of models for classroom, and I present and

write about 3D printing in the classroom and my blog designmaketeach.com.

[SOUND] Well so much of the learning that takes place nowadays is on screen.

YouTube videos and PowerPoint presentations and

sort of interactive white board sorts of things.

What I find that 3D printing brings into the classroom is

multiple means of representation.

So having three-dimensional models to show and

demonstrate three-dimensional concepts.

The other aspect of 3D printing in the classroom

is to give students another means of representation.

So students can design things that can be created and shown in the real world,

and then on the science academy side, being able to create items for research,

to research the 3D printing process, allows students

to create multiple copies of something in a kind of a repeatable fashion.

And really, out of all of the sort of digital fabrication tools,

3D printing really fits the scale of the classroom, as far a the size,

the operating cost, and the scale of objects that can be printed and

developed really work well in a classroom environment.

[SOUND] Well, I've worked with students from 4th through 12th grade and

as far as having classroom manipulatives, for having objects that represent

real world things, I don't really think that there's an age limit on that.

I think a kindergarten student that's able to touch and

hold a model of a fossil is able to be,

finds that just as rewarding as any other age.

As far as 3D modeling though, as far as developing and

making things for 3D printing and 3D design,

you can do that with first or

second graders, especially if you do sort of hand drawings and digitize those.

But I really found around fourth or

fifth grade the ability to do 3D modeling and something like Tinkercad,

it's a little bit more reasonable to happen in the classroom.

[SOUND] Oftentimes, teachers come to me with particular problems

that students are having and particularly it could be problematic

when students are given two-dimensional source materials,

flat source materials for a 3D concept.

And so one example is the nets of the cube.

And so the Virginia standards of learning, geometry standards, had a problem

involving nets of the cube, which is a 2D representation of a folded out cube.

The idea is that the students could mentally in their head be able to

transform that net into a cube in their head.

And so most students get that concept right away.

But there's some students who just have a little bit of difficulty

while making that initial transformation between

what they're seeing on a flat sheet of paper to a three-dimensional solid.

And so I was able to create a foldable cube that printed flat

that students could actually take and fold into three-dimensional space.

Now teachers have been doing that a long time with paper models.

But those paper models tend to be pretty flimsy and

don't always create the correct angles for

students, while as the three-dimensional model that I was able to create

boundaries on it so that when it's folded up it forms the perfect shape of a cube.

[SOUND] So, I really enjoy the six crystal families example.

That's a problem that was brought to me by a special education teacher who was

working in a science classroom.

The students were tasked with, sort of, understanding shape and

structures of crystal families.

And so the only sort of material that were available for students were

sort of a really hard to figure out, two-dimensional representation.

And so I was able to go on Thingiverse, a repository of 3D objects, and download

examples of, physical examples of the six crystal families,

print those out and in turn make enough sets of those so that

each group in the classroom each lab group and classroom will have access to that.

So this was an example that not only helped the special education students, but

really helped all of the students take that from a really

abstract sort of concept into a hands on laboratory setting and environment.

[SOUND] The Fujita Scale Modeling was another example where the only sort of

resource available to students were a 2D representation, and in this case,

thumbnails of the damage that's caused by different levels of tornadoes.

And so the Fujita Scale runs from an F0 to an F5, and so the teacher asked me

to come up with some models that would be able to show students the same house

being effected by different intensities of hurricanes, excuse me, of tornadoes.

Obviously, that would be impossible to find in the real world, but

we were able to do was create a scale model in Tinkercad of

an idealized House and then progressively provide more damage to that,

to show the effect of the different intensities of tornadoes.

And so we ended printing five models showing all of those different levels.

And that provided a sort of hands-on representation for the students that made

it much more understandable of what that scale was trying to show.

The Chesapeake Bay Watershed model is a great example of

creating a three dimensional topographic map to

take the place of or supplement a two-dimensional map.

A special education teacher came to me and

said her students were having trouble understanding contour lines and

that the way those contour lines represented height elevations.

The students couldn't understand why water in New York would end

up in the Chesapeake Bay.

And so I was able to take some online data sets and

assemble them together to create a map of the entire Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

The center example is 3D printed, but I was able to use that same data

set to also create a laser cut version and a paper cut version.

So, these digital fabrication files that are used for

3D printing can actually be used for a variety of different tools.

Now, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Bio-Interactive Model

here is showing a protein and how that protein changes with mutations.

A biology teacher was having trouble explaining to her students how proteins

fold and how these sort of lock and key structures will work with proteins.

And so a 3D printed model actually does a very good job of showing how some

of these changes in the folding structure of the proteins changes the overall shape.

And so, this particular example shows how a mutation in a protein

affects the ability of a anti-cancer drug to fit in and bind to a particular site.

And so in this case, the protein folds in a way that makes one

cancer drug stop working, while another one continues to work.

And so it seems odd that this sort of 3D printed model can represent that, but

it actually does a good job of explaining how the protein folding works in.

So the protein model example here, it was brought to me by a Science Olympiad team.

And their task in the Science Olympiad team was to do protein modeling.

So it was a protein modeling competition in which students designed the protein,

but then were expected to come into the competition and,

from memory, be able to recreate that protein.

And so the protein was represented in a three dimensional space in

a 3D modeling program.

But having a physical model of the protein and

the structure really assisted students in being able to understand how

the different components of that molecule came together.

So they were able to practice with the 3D printed model and

then go into the competition and do the protein modeling in there.

The examples of proteins in the Howard Hughes example and

the Science Olympiad example sort of lead to the NIH 3D Print Exchange,

where it's not just K-12 educators that are doing this sort of modeling.

But biologists and neuroscientists and chemists in the field are using

3D models to sort of understand structures for their research.

And so the NIH 3D Print Exchange is a great example of a variety

of researchers and people coming together to create models that are 3D

printable for research use or for classroom use.

For regular FDM printers, the only issue at the moment,

is really sort of filtering through the models and

determining which ones print well for the classroom and

which ones need a more advanced sort of 3D printer to be able to create the model.

The Apollo Mission Model was another model from Thingiverse that I printed for

an aerospace educator at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum.

And so this is an example where it's a multi step process from sort

of the launch of the mission and various stages as the components of the craft,

the command service module, and the lunar module, and the ascent and

descent component sort of come together and then back apart again.

And so normally, this is represented in a very,

sort of complex sequence diagram that hopefully you can see here.

But with the 3D model, students can actually take the lander apart and

sort of recreate each step of the mission and sort of understand,

at a more intuitive level, how the shuttling of astronauts and supplies and

moon rocks would go from one part of the craft to the other throughout the mission.

One of the very exciting things is starting to see government agencies

like NASA make more and more models available for the public.

So the NASA 3D Resources page is nice because students

are able to print the lunar surface and asteroids.

And so things that they'd be studying in earth science, sort of celestial objects,

they can actually have a physical connection to those through the 3D models

and the 3D representations being provided from NASA itself.

So in the same vein, The Smithsonian has been publishing

some of their vast supply of items they've been 3D scanning and

providing materials about those particular models.

So for instance, Lincoln's life mask here is a great example of the types

of models that are available to institutions like the Smithsonian.

But to be able to actually print those out while studying the civil war

is a great classroom example.

And really connects to how those models were used in the past.

Where sort of plaster casts and a life mask of Lincoln would have gone out for

admirers or people who were interested in studying the President at the time.

And so 3D printing is really a modern day analog

to how sort of those plaster casts and historical objects were treated.

So one of the examples that I find really exciting about the use of 3D printing is

in the art classroom.

Art classrooms can treat 3D printing as.

Well, 3D printing is a new medium, a new tool.

So I had an art teacher who was teaching a photography class and

having students do high contrast photos talk to me about

creating 3D printed lithophanes.

And so the students needed to create sort of high-contrast

images that were suitable for 3D printing.

And so we've converted those and printed those out.

And so students were able to look at the value, the color intensity for

their prints and see how those would convert over to

a new sort of medium and a new sort of art object.

I'm most excited,

I think, about the potential in the classroom is in the research.

Area.

And so because of the scale of 3D printing,

3D printing itself becomes a great research topic for students.

One of the first projects that students did at the Academy of Science where I

work is 3D printing infill patterns to determine which particular infill pattern

provided the most strength to the finished product and model.

Another research project that's very exciting is

the vertical wind turbine project.

The students who were doing this project were collaborating with students in

Singapore to develop these models of vertical wind turbines.

Whereas without a 3D printer, I think the students would have struggled to

hand fabricate even a single example of these vertical wind turbines.

With a 3D printer, they were able to print out multiple copies of

each variation of their design.

In this case they were using mathematical models to

determine the blade structure of the vertical turbines.

But they were able to create three identical copies of each design and

then multiple variations on that.

I think all together,

we were able to print 21 different copies of these vertical turbines on our blades.

Then, in Singapore, they were able to do the same thing by sharing back and

forth the same model plans.

The Spinal Disc Research Project was very interesting in that the students

approach to this was to actually re-engineering the 3D printer.

In this case, to mimic how spinal discs are actually created,

the student went and printed on the axle of a motor.

The motor would spin, and so he was able to create these concentric

rings to build up the spinal disc.

This project was great, the student went on to

the Intel International Science Fair with this project.

I'm very excited to see how his different structures that he created

handle different stresses under a press.

To me, 3D printing is just a small part of the overall process.

The key component is really the designing the three dimensional model,

having a need and

designing a solution to that need, something that solves a problem.

Tinkercad is a great, low-cost way to get started.

You do need a computer and an internet connection, but you can start 3D modeling.

It's nice to be able to have the physical model to be able to iterate off of,

but most important part once the model is designed is to sharing that model.

Publishing that on three dimensional repositories like Thingiverse or

Imagine and asking for feedback,

writing descriptions, adding keywords, putting in screenshots.

All of those things that are involved in a sharing culture are very important

to this 3D modeling process.

I think a lot of manufacturers of 3D printers are,

of course, looking to education as markets.

A number of different companies have 3D curriculum and

resources that are available on their site.

Obviously, you don't need to have their model of 3D printers to

take advantage of that.

There's growing groups on Thingiverse, so you can search for

groups that are centered around on your particular education topic.

Of course, I find venues like Twitter are a great place to

just post questions out there and build

an audience of people who are interested in the same things that you are.

For instance, some of the things that I've done, the Virginia topographic map,

came about because I posted a question on Twitter and I asked for help.

Someone was able to write up a tutorial for me and

I was able to follow that to create the model.

Finding something that's similar to what you want to design on Thingiverse, and

then writing a comment to that person.

I found the educators on Thingiverse are really easy,

eager to share their ideas and experiences for different models.

They can often help provide guidance or

help maybe customize a model that they've created for other uses.

[SOUND] If you want to contact me on a day-to-day basis,

Twitter @designmaketeach is a great way, on my blog designmaketeach.com.

I have a lot of tips, and tutorials, and how-to articles, so

they're welcome to leave a comment on a particular article.

I've helped people who have left comments, and

I've helped create some models for some folks who needed it.

If you want to see just a portfolio of the types of things that I'm printing on

a day-to-day basis, Instagram @designmaketeach.

There's another good way to see what pops out of my printer on a daily basis.
