Playground 3D
Interested in 3D printing? Come play with Tinkercad, Matter Control, and the 3D printers during your building's 3D playground session. These morning sessions will be opportunities for you to come and use the items I demonstrated during the most recent JOT. There will not be a formal presentation, just available support if you need it! I hope to see some of you over the next two weeks, and I look forward to seeing how you use this innovative tool!
12/12 WL in the Art Room
12/14 JR High in Room 217
