Are you looking to harmonize technology with music education? This workshop delves into the fascinating world of 3D printing and its innovative applications in the music classroom. In this interactive session, you'll gain insights into how you can use 3D printing in your band, choir, orchestra, and general music classes, and ignite creativity in you and your students.
Agenda:
- Sharing Inspirational Projects: We'll kick off the session with a hands-on showcase of 3D-printed creations designed for the music classroom. From custom instrument parts to music-themed visual aids, to modifications for students with disabilities, you'll witness how 3D printing has enhanced music education at the Norfolk Middle School.
- Types of 3D Printers and Access: We'll explore the various types of 3D printers available, discussing their features, costs, and suitability for educational settings. You'll also learn where to find 3D printers, whether it's in your school's media center, STEM classes, or public libraries.
- 3D Modeling and CAD Software: In this section, we'll dive into the basics of 3D modeling and Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) software. You'll discover user-friendly tools and resources that allow you to design custom music-related objects, empowering you to create your own unique teaching materials.
- Understanding Filament, Material Selection, and where to find STL/3MF files: Filament choice plays a crucial role in 3D printing. We'll discuss different types of filaments, their characteristics, and how to select the most suitable material for your specific projects. We will also look at where to find files that makers have already created that you can simply print for classroom use.
- Brainstorming Session: The workshop concludes with a collaborative brainstorming session. Educators are encouraged to share their ideas and projects, or explore the vast potential 3D printing offers in the music classroom.
Exchange creative ideas, discover potential collaborations, and leave with a wealth of inspiration. Join us for this exciting workshop and enhance your music classroom with the limitless possibilities of 3D printing. Unlock new dimensions of creativity, engage your students, and empower them to explore the intersection of art and technology. A link to the presentation can be found here:
