Why 3D Printing and Drone Technology are important STEAM careers
3D printing Curriculum Ideas
There are quite a few resources we have collected to share with you about 3D printing for STEM and STEAM . Some links are in general for 3D printing and some are specifically around creating hands and building a theme around that topic. To help you build your network, we will also give you some contact names and emails of teachers who have done some work in this area. Here are a few ideas we have heard of how the hand printing idea can be incorporated.
Mechanical aspects of the hand, printer and software
Anatomy of the hand, arm
Study amniotic band syndrome
Study the different materials that are used to make the hand
Math skills required to enlarge the hand
Writing - have students write about the story of e-NABLE or how they feel as students printing hands for another child, etc.
Problem solving skills - study the strength of the parts with different amounts of infill.
Art - draw hands, sketch hand and 3D printed hands, make wall collage of hands.
Art - pick out colors of filament, make patterns in hand
Language - e-NABLE is an international organization. Translate the safety document into another language.
History - what is the history of the prosthesis?
Geography - study a country like Haiti that has an e-NABLE project as Hands for Haiti Video
Geography - if you are making a hand for a real child study the place where that child lives
Music - Have music performance of an inspirational song like "We are the world" or a song with hand or children in the title

3D Printed Hand Specific
- This is a link to an e-NABLE document that lists all the people and schools that are working on curriculum specifically for the hands. A very good list of contacts.
- e-NABLE resources for schools
- Problem-based, thematic story lines make learning relevant and fun
- FRE - City X Project - The City X Project toolkit is the most educationally relevant introductory 3D printing and design thinking curriculum available for 8 to 12 year-olds. It is a detailed guide to facilitating the City X Project workshop with your own students. Though it is best run with a 3D printer, the City X Project still works great using just free 3D modeling software recommended in our instructor’s guide.
